Tracy McGrady: "Melo should have won the ROY in 2004, not LeBron James"
According to former NBA player, Anthony had a first season superior to 'The King's' in Cleveland
One of the best Draft classes of all time was the 2003 one. In that year, only LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony brought two unforgettable generational talents to the NBA.
As expected, in the first year of these two NBA legends, they both stood out with great ease. In fact, they ended up as top contenders to win the Rookie of the Year award. LeBron took it, but for Tracy McGrady, the real winner was Melo.
This is what McGrady recently expressed in statements collected by Clutch Points: "Honestly, without intention to offend anyone, but I believe he should have won the Rookie of the Year award because he led his team to the playoffs. It's a tremendous achievement for a rookie to come in, have all the attention on him, and be overlooked for the award. I don't like that at all."
As McGrady mentioned, in that season, Cleveland did not make it to the playoffs in the East, while the Denver Nuggets did qualify in the West.
