One of the biggest complaints about Carmelo Anthony’s game has been his effort on the defensive end. Offensively, he’s probably the most versatile scorer in the business, but on the other end, not so much.
Melo is apparently willing to put his neck out in the name of better defense. He has reportedly asked the coaching staff to call him out in front of his teammates for bad defense.
Melo says he's asked Knicks staff to call him out on film & in meetings when he slacks defensively to hold him accountable in front of team.
