NBA Courtside: Carmelo Anthony reacts to Jaden McDaniels calling out Denvers bad defense: "That's grown man talk. You didn't beat around the bush, you called names out.... When you have that type of passion about the point you're trying to make, it's on. It was already a rivalry, its personal now. Now Jokic is sitting back like 'I got something for you now.' Hearing this will take him to a whole other level... This is war, this is chess... If you don't win game 3 though, we'll have to have a conversation."

Through 60 games, Flagg is averaging 20.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in 33.8 minutes per night as a 19-year-old. After scoring 32 points against the Warriors, he now has eight career 30-point games, more than any other teenager in NBA history except LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. He did it while shooting 12-of-19 from the floor and 2-of-4 from beyond the arc, while making all six of his free throw attempts and finding his teammates for nine assists. “He’s slowing the game down. He’s reading the defense really well,” Max Christie said of Flagg. “When he gets into his backdowns and his moves, he’s taking his time more — he’s not rushed. He’s still making the right play. That’s the first sign of growth.”

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.

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.
