Carmelo Anthony

Stop what you’re doing. Stop whatever you’re doing. Doesn’t matter if you’re cooking, rocking your baby to sleep or rescuing gaggles of talking seagulls from a burning building. Stop it. Stop all of it. You’ll want to take this in. Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant apparently worked out together. Gasp. Eric Pincus of BasketballInsiders.com was [...]

Never say J.R. Smith doesn’t have goals. Conventional goals, mind you. Not aspirations to open up his own chocolate factory that’s managed by Willy Wonka and a platoon of Oompa Loompas. Not hopes of one day building and living in a house made of beef jerky, cheese and ranch dressing. Actual, basketball-related goals that demand [...]

Jim Boeheim’s latest verbal foray into Carmelo Anthony’s free-agency decision is going to make Phil Jackson blush. The Syracuse head coach was exceedingly vocal leading up to Anthony’s free agency and recurrently admitted he wanted the All-Star forward to sign somewhere he could win. But Anthony signed in New York, where he’s not going to [...]

All this time we thought Carmelo Anthony was born to score. We were wrong. He was really a point guard-hopeful trapped in the body of a forward, gifted with the offensive chops of an unabashed, inside-out, 20-plus-shots-per-night chucker. But after 11 years of shooting and scoring, more shooting and scoring, and more shooting and scoring [...]

Ever have one of those days where you wake up, look in the mirror and then, with a look of complete and utter disgust on your face, whisper to yourself, “Man, I wish I looked more like Kevin Durant?” No? Oh, OK. Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James might have. Both NBA superstars have slimmed down [...]

Never say Pat Riley didn’t try to replace LeBron James with the next best superstar. No, we’re not talking about Luol Deng, who, in a way, actually is LeBron’s replacement. We’re talking about Carmelo Anthony, who Riley says the Miami Heat chased to no avail after King James took his crown and his throne and [...]

The relationship between Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls is straight up weird. Toxic? Maybe. Ridiculous? Perhaps. Incomprehensible? Sure. But weird? Most definitely. Franchise stars and their teams normally see eye-to-eye. When they don’t, well, LeBron James’ first decision happens. Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves happens. Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets happens. Long-term [...]

Someone, anyone, must explain the Chicago Bulls’ sudden infatuation with Kevin Love. After adding Pau Gasol to a frontcourt rotation that already includes Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson, and after basically removing themselves from the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes by asking him to take a ridiculously large pay cut, the Bulls are apparently making a competitive [...]

Carmelo Anthony, thou art chivalrous. Or something. Much ado has been made about Anthony’s new contract with the New York Knicks. We know it’s going to be for five years. And we know it’s going to be worth nine figures. We just don’t know the exact amount. Not even now. All we really know is [...]
