You can’t deny that LeBron has been killing it this season and other NBA players can even admit it. So what does his friend and fellow Olympian, Carmelo Anthony have to say about it? Of course, Melo only had great things to say…but does he names Bron Bron MVP?! Find out after the jump…
According to Jared Zwerling | Special to ESPNNewYork.com:
Carmelo Anthony said he’s “never seen nothing like it,” referring to James’ offensive streak.
“That’s crazy,” Melo said after the New York Knicks practiced on Tuesday. “What he’s doing right now is unbelievable. I mean, he’s scoring 30-something, 40 points in 11 shots, 10 for 12 and things like that. He’s on an incredible run right now.”
How has James been doing it? Primarily inside. In his five games before Tuesday, he was shooting a blistering 84.1 percent (37 for 44) from inside 10 feet, where 44 of his 77 shots have come. From 10 feet or beyond, he’s shooting 54.5 percent (18-for-33).
Melo said that when the opportunity presents itself, he tries to watch his buddies around the league, notably James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade, to see how they’re performing.
“I don’t really watch too much TV, but when my friends are playing, I want to see what they’re doing, I want to see their games,” Anthony said. “Most of the time, they’re playing when we’re playing, so it’s kind of hard to watch. But when there are games like (this past) Sunday, when there are a lot of games on at one time, of course we’re watching.”
So what does Anthony think about James’ MVP chances?
“It’s early. It’s the All-Star break right now,” he said. “He’s definitely playing like a Most Valuable Player, so we’ll see what happens.”
