I can't hate on Carmelo Anthony.
He changed my perception of him last season. He shut his mouth, put his head down, and put up an increase in numbers in nearly every statistical category.
I was certain he would bolt NY, but he didn't. He is serious about his legacy, and he is giving Phil Jackson and NY a chance. If he can win in NY, he cements his HOF status.
If you win or compete in LA, BOS, or NY - you make a name for yourself. Melo is at least trying. NY is about hype, tradition, showtime East....can't fault the man for playing the part.
