Melo > many players
We had to wait two days after Sports Illustrated named Robin Lopez the 84th-best player in the NBA, but finally we come to another member of the New York Knicks on the Top 100 list. And -- wouldn't you know it? -- that player is Carmelo Anthony.
Despite missing most of the 2014-15 season to a knee debridement, Melo still clocks in at a lofty 15th on the list.
Although rushing to write off Carmelo Anthony would be a mistake, the sand does seem to be shifting beneath his feet.
