Carmelo Anthony

Mike D’Antoni has jokes. There wasn’t much to laugh about for the Los Angeles Lakers last season and after losing Dwight Howard to the Houston Rockets, that’s sort of true today. Then, you know, there’s the whole Kobe Bryant still being injured thing. Reasons to smile aren’t exactly banging Los Angeles’ door down. Still, Magic [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire is associated with disappointment more than he is anything else. The six-time All-Star, who is averaging over 20 points and eight rebounds for his career, finds himself a roster liability and financial hindrance with the New York Knicks. This wasn’t how his tenure in the Big Apple was supposed to play out. And [...]

No one tell Pau Gasol what the Los Angeles Lakers’ real plans (probably) are after this season. Why? Because I don’t want to hurt his feelings. According to the Los Angeles Times’ Mike Bresnahan, the fluffy-haired Spaniard would love the opportunity to re-sign with the Lakers this coming summer: “It’s nice to be here in [...]

Carmelo Anthony is, well, confusing. The New York Knicks forward has long been criticized for just about everything he does—shooting, defending, shooting, a lack of passing, shooting, his capacity to lead, shooting, his playoff record and shooting. I’ve personally never had a problem with his style of play. Should he pass out of double teams [...]

New Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets Jason Kidd recently joked with Carmelo Anthony during a 9-11 dedication about changing uniforms. All Kidd-ing aside, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant lead the list of the NBA’s free agents in the summer of 2014. Anthony’s name has been mentioned in connection with the Los Angeles [...]

The New York Knicks were old last season. Really old. Historically old. And Raymond Felton knows it. While at Macy’s in Herald Square making an appearance on behalf of Under Armour, Felton pointed out that New York’s roster was too old season and ultimately cost the team a shot at the title: We’re a younger [...]

Well that’s that. Kobe Bryant wants to retire as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and according to Mitch Kupchak, the feeling is mutual. Talking with members of the media in anticipation of training camp, Kupchak conceded that Kobe made it clear he doesn’t want to play anywhere else. He also confirmed that the [...]

LeBron James wants that third straight NBA title. So does Dwyane Wade. And Chris Bosh. And the rest of the Miami Heat. But Steve Kerr doesn’t think they’re going to get it. During an interview with Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times (h/t Sun Sentinel), the TNT NBA analyst made it clear he doesn’t [...]

Well this is encouraging. Most of the NBA’s regular season is dedicated to the games being played, to the teams that are winning, the teams that are losing and the championship stakes at hand. Another part of it, however, is spent dancing around free agency. Where will the biggest names land? Who will and who [...]

Every so often I come across something said awhile ago that I find interesting and think wasn’t talked about enough. This is one of those times. Speaking with ESPN New York’s Jared Zwerling, Carmelo Anthony said he thinks the NBA’s balance of power has shifted from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference. “When I [...]
