LeBron is an outstanding player; Carmelo is an awesome player. Which one is better? Melo all the way is what I say. He may be young, but he's not as young as LeBron. LeBron plays like he's young; he's gettin out of that hole, but he's still got a year or two before he'll completely shine. I say Carmelo for Rookie of the Year, no doubt about it. Carmelo's got the charisma and skill to be the next MJ or Magic.
