Melo was really better than Wade and Bron as Rookies. He just got to complacent, because it was so easy and effortless for him. He went 12 years averaging 23 or better from his rookie season to his final season with New York. Lebron and Wade just continued to get better. Lebron was always goin get the most attention though because he could pass similar to magic, and he was super athletic. Everybody know elite athleticism make people believe your better at basketball because of how it looks. Like Vince Carter, people thought Vince Carter was better than Kobe once upon a time based on athleticism, but Kobe was always 10x more skilled, and it showed when he lost that athleticism. Same with Bron to a lesser degree, bron is still super strong, so he can still be dominant in spots, but the more he loses his athleticism, it highlights how less skilled he was compared to a Mj or a Kobe.
