With the two being so closely matched, one has to wonder why does Lebron seem to get all the publicity.

Lebron is crowned King of the NBA when the only thing that seperates these two is a MVP trophy, a trophy Carmelo would of easily gotten if he didn’t have to compete with the likes of Kobe and the deep deep Western Conference.With Lebron feeling Carmelo’s wrath the majority of the time they face off, you would think Anthony would be getting his just due.The difference maker is oversaturation, Lebron is the more marketable and likeable of the two so he gets things he rightfully deserves such as endorsements and highlight slots on espn. He also gets things he does not deserve such as automatic basketball royalty, and phantom calls in close games.You know its media manipulation when Lebron gets name drops from ESPN analyst covering sports that have nothing to do with basketball.Now for the number geeks the numbers mean everything so heres the most critcal statistcal category of any players career NBA championships,both of them score nill in that department.Since they are so close competitively there is nothing else to judge them on besides skill set. Both players are fierce competitors but only one has the killer instinct and thats Carmelo.There last meeting Carmelo matched Lebron stride for stride the kicker was the bulk of Carmelo’s points were scored on Lebron including the dagger he left in the heart of the 6-8 260 pound susperstar.I always knew Lebron’s one on one defense was overrated but that game exposed it to the world. Lebron got all the calls and missed all of the critical freethrows you could see the NBA pulling for the Lebron Kobe finals but LBJ just couldn’t make good on his freebies.Though a close battle I have to concede that Carmelo is the more well rounded player out of the two..
