No player in the NBA has been as talked about this season than Carmelo Anthony. And 99% of the dialogue has been positive - Melo has matured, he's a leader, he's less selfish, he's a legit MVP candidate. But is this all true - is Melo a new man? The wonderful Wages of Wins dispelled most of this as myth - Melo isn't less selfish - he's actually passing less than ever, and he hasn't greatly improved in any aspect of the game. Except for one - his three-point accuracy.

The Knicks are currently blessed with the ability to start Carmelo Anthony at the power forward position, only to have a BETTER power forward come in off the bench and move Melo back to his natural small forward position.
