Carmelo Anthony

Kobe Bryant really is back. When it was announced that the Black Mamba was medically cleared for all basketball-related activities, optimism was reserved. It’s been over seven months. Hopes shouldn’t skyrocket. Not when they stand to be dashed. Turns out that Kobe really is back, though. Draining shots, dropping dimes, making a fool out of [...]

Carmelo Anthony is pissed. Finally. I’m not going to blame him, either. If I were him, I’d be pissed too. Like, really pissed. Following the New York Knicks’ 109-106 loss to the Houston Rockets at Madison Square Garden Anthony tried to sidestep questions regarding the no-call on his desperation three late in the fourth quarter, [...]

Hand it to Carmelo Anthony—he’s never afraid. Some people would be inclined to panic following the New York Knicks’ loss to the Charlotte Bobcats at home. While it’s still early in the season, the Knicks are 1-3, and 1-2 at Madison Square Garden. Not the kind of start you expect from a purported title contender. [...]

Kyrie Irving has a great relationship with Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, but that’s all he’s going to say. Retaining the star point guard has become an obsession for Cleveland. That, and the media has helped bolster its important, even though it’s already incredibly important. Irving won’t become a free agent anytime soon, but he [...]

This is starting to get weird. And quite frankly, a little embarrassing. The New York Knicks are title contenders. That’s what they’re selling us on, anyway. Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Andrea Bargnani—they’re supposed to be the core of a championship hopeful. Yet talk keeps shifting to the future, like the Knicks [...]

Meet Carmelo Anthony, scorer of baskets and saver of lives. After J.R. Smith was suspended five games for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy, ‘Melo said he had a “heart-to-heart” with the New York Knicks shooting guard and reigning Sixth Man of the Year, according to ESPN New York’s Ian Begley. “The time is now,” Anthony [...]

If this Lakers’ season were a new movie, what would you call it? “Escape Plan?” Oh, wait D-12 already did that. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2?” Or maybe “Prisoners,” to describe the Lakers fans and perhaps Bryant, himself. As the Lakers prepare to start the 2013-2014 season without veteran 5-time NBA champion and [...]

You knew this one was coming. For the 12th-year running, the NBA polled all 30 of its general managers on the happenings of the league. Questions ranged from “Which team will be most improved in 2013-14?” to “Which player is best at moving without the ball?” to “Why in the hell won’t the Boston Celtics [...]

As one Adam Fromal would say: Hahahahaha. An ESPN system called SCHOENE predicted the New York Knicks to finish 37-45 this season, per the New York Post‘s Marc Berman, which is hysterical. The Knicks went 54-28 last year, meaning they’d have to be 17 games worse in 2013-14. Again, hysterical. Carmelo Anthony wasn’t laughing, though. [...]
