Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony, now 31 years old, is growing up. And, in turn, giving the ball up. The reputation the New York Knicks superstar has as a ball-stopper is a bit overstated, especially in recent years, as he’s refined his catch-and-shoot touch. But this season’s version of Anthony is the most selfless we have ever seen. [...]

Members of the New York Knicks are beginning to trust, or perhaps express more trust, in, well the New York Knicks. Both the players and head coach Derek Fisher waxed optimism following the Knicks’ 107-101 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night, the team’s second in as many games, both of which have come [...]

Older Carmelo Anthony is pretty chill. In past years, Carmelo Anthony has sugarcoated answers and thoughts more so than most. His brand-built persona has left him very wealthy, but, for a while, there was contrived distance that existed between him and fans of unfiltered truth. Over the last year or so, though, Melo has become [...]

And now for a live look inside the New York Knicks locker room. Carmelo Anthony: “Yo, ‘Zaps. I got you something.” [Melo hands Kristaps Porzingis a gold-gilded Alex and Ani bangle with an oversized charm of Toy Story‘s Buzz Lightyear and Woody bumping fists and winking at one another.] Porzingis: “What is this?” Melo: “It’s [...]

Since Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks are off to their best NBA season start in years, it is only proper that Jordan Brand keeps their longest active signature athlete equipped; enter the new Jordan Melo M12. For the 12th pair of Jordans made for Carmelo Anthony’s signature series, the Melo M12 looks to [...]

If Kobe Bryant had gotten his way in 2011, Carmelo Anthony would now be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, not the New York Knicks. This, of course, assumes that the two stars would have coexisted together this long. There’s only one ball allowed on the floor at a time, you know. The offensive [...]

At 31, with an NBA title window that’s rapidly drawing to a close, Carmelo Anthony often looks out of place on the New York Knicks. Indeed, the Knicks, unlike last season, are watchable. Rookie Kristaps Porzingis is proving that he’s NBA-ready, not a years-long project, and New York might even contend for a playoff spot [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire, even now, as a member of the Miami Heat, thinks that he and Carmelo Anthony could have made sweet basketball music together with the New York Knicks. You know, if it weren’t for those meddling coaches. Prior to the Knicks’ 95-78 loss to the Heat on Monday night, Stoudemire reflected on his time [...]

Some NBA players cannot come to grips with their age, let alone the limitations that come as a result of that age. (Shout-out, Kobe Bryant.) LeBron James, though, is not one of those players. As he approaches his 31st birthday (December 30), he has never been more accepting, or more obvious about accepting, that he [...]

Anyone pulling for the New York Knicks to unload Jose Calderon ahead of the NBA’s February trade deadline might want to invest their sporting hopes in something else. Rookie sensation/Dirk Nowitzki-DeAndre Jordan hybrid/Future Hall of Famer/Eventual 10-time champion/Inevitable 12-time MVP Kristaps Porzingis loves Calderon, so that means the 34-year-old floor general isn’t going anywhere. This [...]
