It has definitely been rough times for all of you Knicks fans out there. The Knicks went 17-65 last season, good enough for the second worst record in the NBA, and with the new additions to the team’s roster, they look to build on those 17 wins. However, the star player for New York, Carmelo Anthony, says he currently has no expectations for his squad.
Carmelo Anthony is definitely a good player and there is no doubt about that. However, comparing him to the likes of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant–on any level–is definitely a stretch. In the Knicks’ new system under Phil Jackson, Jackson believes Melo can flourish just like MJ or Kobe with the triangle offense.
Many people were questioning why Phil Jackson decided to break up the Knicks and leave Carmelo all alone in New York but now, Phil is shedding some light on it. In an interview with ESPN, Phil mentions that J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert were difficult to work with, not improving their game, and he even says JR was a delinquent!
After escaping from an upstate New York prison, Richard Matt and David Sweat have been on the run for over two weeks now. Recently, it is said that one of the prisoners has been shot by police!
Melo continues to make some interesting moves off of the basketball court. #IFWT reported that Melo was interested in purchasing a Puerto Rican Soccer team and he eventually did; and now, he is partnering with Nickelodeon in a Ninja Turtles venture.
