Carmelo Anthony Rumors

Carmelo Anthony on playing with Barack Obama: He's Barry in the gym. He’s Barry. He's Bo in the gym. We wasn't at the White House. We played somewhere else at… It was like Navy or something like that. One of the campuses. We played somewhere. But yeah, I got the call like, "Yo, Obama doing a basketball game, man." He said he needs a shooter. Said he wants you. You have to be there. Damn! I got summoned. I think LeBron was there. We had some older guys and then he invited some of the younger guys. We were just there having a good time man. We played pick up. Q. Did anybody guard him with any gust? Anthony: You guard him but you just can't touch him.

Him being such a global icon, like being able to bring awareness to the NBA and bring people in positions of power around the NBA, he's doing his job. He's like an ambassador for the NBA.

What was the first big moment when you realized, “Boy, finally, I’m in the NBA. This is actually happening. It’s real”? Derrick White: Yeah, I mean, the first time I actually had some real minutes. I check in against OKC, and I go to the free-throw line, and I got Carmelo Anthony and Paul George. And I’m from Colorado, and so Carmelo Anthony was basically my whole childhood. So I’m kind of like, “This is amazing that I’m here next to you. I can’t believe it.” So that was kind of my—my eyes are wide open the whole time. I probably turned it over the next play.

Carmelo Anthony believes Anthony Edwards is the best player in the NBA: “I think Ant Edwards is the best player in the NBA. I think he brings everything. He brings in intellect, he takes on the challenge. His stats speak for itself. Getting his team as a young player to multiple WCF. His peers are saying this. His peers are saying ‘Ant is the guy right now.’ If you look at trajectory, the energy, the it factor, early success, winning, carrying an organization. I’d have to say, he is that”

Drew Hanlen: Melo is a hall of famer, gold medalist & one of the best bucket-getters in NBA history. In fact, outside of Kobe, he was the player we studied/stole from more than anyone when JT was in high school. My tweet wasn’t downplaying how good he was as a player. It was addressing Melo’s comments suggesting JT needed to take a backseat in order to win. JT is an NBA champion & 14-6 in playoff series. He knows how to win. Just think the media, especially former players like Melo who knows JT rocks with him, should be celebrating the fact that JT has worked his ass off to give himself a chance to get back on the court this season instead of dropping hot takes.

Drew Hanlen: The irony of Carmelo Anthony trying to tell Jayson Tatum how to win…

Carmelo Anthony says Jayson Tatum needs to be very ‘mature’ when he returns knowing it’s Jaylen Browns team this season “For so long JB has sacrificed everything. Now it’s like JT, what are you going to sacrifice? But now I held the fort down for you and the whole organization. JT has to be very mature about this situation. It’s no ego, no pride. We got a chance to come back and win a championship. So let me just put my pride and ego aside for these next 3 months and continue to let JB steer the ship”

Charlie Villanueva: Shawn Marion calls me. We have a good debate. He's actually a fan of the show. He sees the show. He was just wanted to give me his opinion on some of the topics that we discuss. And that being one about Kevin Durant versus Carmelo Anthony. And he gave me his two cents on who he would pick and then he mentioned something to me. Got me thinking. He said just throw my name in the mix.

Q. When the trade happened, did you see it coming or did you expect it? F*ck no. No, I was in Dallas getting ready to play. I had like a suite. I had all my family, friends coming to the game. So I'm in there getting taped in the in the training room in the hotel in Dallas and TV's right here. I'm getting taped and it pops up. ‘Breaking news: Deron Williams traded to the Nets’, as I'm getting taped. Somebody was like, ‘D-Will, is that true?' And I looked and I was like, ‘Sh*t, I don't know.’ Called my agent and he's like, ‘I ain't heard that. Let me let me call Kevin O'Connor.’ He was our GM. So he called Kevin O'Connor, called me back like five minutes later and he's like, ‘Yeah, they traded you.’ So I guess what happened was that was the year Melo was trying to get out of Denver. He had been talking to the Knicks. No, he'd been trying to get to the Nets. It was the Nets or the Knicks. I think they were all doing like trying to make a deal for Melo. And basically when the deal happened with Melo to New York, cuz it was right before the trade deadline, Kevin O' Conor literally just told the Nets, ‘Whatever y'all offered for Melo, and they did the swap.’ So it was that same package they had for Melo, they did for me and just made the swap. And so I found out that day. Didn't play in the game in Dallas, obviously. My teammates were on the bus, went out and told everybody bye and then packed up and headed to Brooklyn.

Carmelo Anthony: “Daryl came in the room and told me, ‘Your services is no longer needed.’ I’ve never heard no like that before. I’ma just be honest. That’s like you really getting fired from your job.”

Carmelo Anthony: “The next day we playing San Antonio. They tell me, ‘Look, you can either come to the game, but in your street clothes, like sit behind the bench and support the team, or you could fly back to Houston and wait until we tell you what you could do next.’”

7PM in Brooklyn: Melo: "Daryl Morey came in the room & told me my services are no longer needed ... that plane was gone without me." CP: "I got a plane for me, Melo and my wife ... I wasn't gonna let them embarrass my dawg." This moment Melo & Chris Paul had while in Houston shows how brotherhood is bigger than hoops 🫡
