In a recent episode of the Run Your Race podcast, Raymond Felton expressed admiration for Carmelo Anthony’s scoring talents, placing him above basketball greats such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Michael Jordan. Felton, who once played alongside Anthony, goes into the specifics of Melo’s scoring prowess.
“He can score like nobody else I know,” Felton remarked. “Post-up, footwork, impeccable midrange, three-point shots, athleticism, dunking ability, driving to the basket, handles like a point guard – you name it, he’s got it.
Whatever you want on the court, he can deliver. Is the midrange game all day? Check. Post-up play? Check. Three-pointers? Got you covered,” Felton shared during the podcast interview.

Felton particularly emphasized Anthony’s versatility on the court, a facet of his game that Felton believes surpasses even that of Kevin Durant, another prolific NBA scorer.
Despite Durant’s reputation for scoring from long range and causing mismatches with his size and shooting skills, Felton contends that Anthony stands out due to his sheer strength.
By likening Anthony to basketball icons such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James, Felton underlines the depth of his admiration. Felton’s comparison serves as a testament to Melo’s exceptional scoring prowess, placing him in the elite company of some of the game’s greatest scorers.
