Because of a myopic focus on offense and his constant disgruntling at nearly every NBA stop he made, many people have seemed to re-write the narrative on Carmelo Anthony, omitting the part where he was consistently one of the 10 best players in the NBA for so many years. Between 2005 and 2014, Anthony averaged 26.3 points per game while shooting over 46% from the floor (and over 35% from three), and finished with an average of more than 25 points per game in nine of those 11 seasons.

He not only shares the NBA record for more points scored in a quarter (33), but some people believed that he might’ve been the most clutch scorer of the early 2000’s, this side of Kobe Bryant.
