Carmelo Anthony

foot injury, it will be interesting to see what the Cavs decide to do with the 1st pick. This draft in particular is exciting because it is considered the best draft since 2003, a draft that included LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony. Like the 2003 draft, I believe that there are at least four players (Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid, and Dante Exum) in this year’s draft that will be perennial all stars. Don’t forget about potential studs like Julius Randle,…

other innocent people. There is no community that has been affected more by the informant system than the black community. Some of the issues with informants were brought to light by the DVD “Stop Snitching,” which included a cameo from NBA star Carmelo Anthony.

the game and to in the NBA finals. In almost every game you can almost count on LeBron to swat some one or too run down the court for an amazing slam. One of the big reasons I like his as well for his offense is defense. Most star players like Carmelo Anthony , and James Harden don’t feel the need to play defense for their team because their offense which I believe is also wrong. Lebrun play great defense from his swats to his 1 on 1 defense it is just…
