Carmelo Anthony clearly doesn’t see a repeat of the 17-win dumpster fire that the New York Knicks called a 2014-15 season. Nor does he see only marked improvement.

Carmelo Anthony is a forgiving man…in a manner of speaking. The New York Knicks’ only superstar apparently wasn’t the biggest fan of Sasha Vujacic back in the day. But now that the two are teammates, he’s all about giving Sasha some love. Per the New York Daily News‘s Frank Isola: Carmelo Anthony has a history [...]
