Everyone knows who Carmelo Anthony is, there is no question about that. However, he hasn’t seem to have gotten his just-due. Maybe it’s because before hooking up with Chauncey Billups, Anthony failed to even win multiple games in a playoff series, meanwhile James and Wade have both been to the Finals and Wade has even won a title. So sure, he hasn’t had success in the post-season, but the Nuggets had been facing the Spurs and Lakers a couple of times in their first round match-ups. That doesn’t take away from the fact that Anthony has done work on the court. Afterall, he was average 30 PPG a couple of seasons ago until and even after Allen Iverson was acquired by the Nuggets.

That leads me to believe he’s just been overlooked by the media. Why exactly would one of the best scorers in the league who’s constantly associated with two of the best players in the world get overlooked? Maybe it’s because of his off-the-court issues. Maybe because it’s the image he’s been portrayed to have. Maybe it’s because in the long run, only what you do in the playoffs is how they want to remember you. Regardless of what the case may be, Anthony deserves some credit and these 2009 playoffs have been his coming out party and I don’t think he’ll be overlooked for much longer.
