Felton has recently appeared on the Run Your Race podcast, where he declared Anthony to be better at pure scoring than Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, or Tracy McGrady.

"That dude, just the way he can score, how easy it is for him, I don't know nobody who's better, to be honest with you. I'm talking Tracy McGrady, I'm talking about MJ, I'm talking about Kobe, LeBron, all these guys. The way he used to score at every level, I don't know nobody who's better, for real," Felton said.

"Post-up, got footwork, midrange is impeccable, shoot the three, athletic, can dunk on you, get to the basket, had handles like a point guard. I'm just saying - whatever you want, he can give to you," Felton explained. "Whatever you want. 'If you want just midrange all game, I got you. You want me to post you up? I got you. You want me to shoot the three? I got you.'"

Asked whether Anthony could be compared and could overtake Kevin Durant in this conversation, Felton said Durant couldn't match Melo's game in the post.

"I haven't seen KD go off in the post like I've seen Melo go off in the post. Can KD score? For sure. Good gracious. That man can score easily. He scores easily for him to be 7-feet. They keep saying 6'11. That man ain't 6'11. That man 7-feet, 7'1. That man [is] tall. But Melo, I've seen Melo score everywhere. I haven't seen KD just get somebody in the post and I'm just gonna do you dirty, just post the whole game. I've seen Melo do that," Felton concluded.
