Kicking ass & taking names! Lol. Carmelo Anthony is on a roll. First it was coach Mike Woodson, now it’s Steve Novak and apparently JR Smith could be next.
Melo has been making bets on Syracuse. In his freshman year at Syracuse, Carmelo led the Orange to the 2003 NCAA Championship & made an impact that will last forever. They retired his jersey in February. So of course he has Syracuse to take it all the way this year. They’ve advanced to the Final Four and play Michigan on Saturday. Mike Woodson already paid up on his bet and now Steve Novak has too. Check out the details and pics after the jump…

Syracuse’s wins have been good for the guy who last brought the school a national title — New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony.
And it’s more than just bragging rights: He’s making doubters pay up.
Anthony told AP Basketball Writer Brian Mahoney that he’s making teammate Steve Novak, who went to Marquette, wear orange on the Knicks’ flight to Miami on Monday as payment for their bet on the Sweet 16 game.
His Orange already knocked out teammate Jason Kidd (Cal) and coach Mike Woodson (Indiana). Woodson had to carry around an orangeduring a shootaround last week to pay off his bet.
“I’m going down the line. I’m going down the line,” he said Sunday night. “J.R. (Smith) is rooting for Louisville, he didn’t even go to school. So I mean, he might be next.”
Smith’s brother, Chris, played at Louisville.
That’s if Syracuse beats Michigan first.
“They’re playing very well right now, so we’ll see what happens. We’re playing very well, too,” he said.
