"Make 'em call you Carmelo..."

The 2003 NBA Draft class is as historic and legendary as the '84 and '96 group. The best of the best have emerged within the past 6 years to become superstars, and world champions.

I find the media very interesting sometimes, especially when it comes to professional sports. I have been writing and covering the league for several years and when I see a special player like Carmelo Anthony...I do my best to let his game and words do the talking, as I use that to tell my story. 

Less from me, and more from the athletes themselves.

Last night Melo hit the game winning 3-point shot, giving the Denver Nuggets a 3-0 lead over the stunned Dallas Mavericks. For the past two seasons Anthony has been playing on a high level, and instead of getting great press, and or endorsements...he is often left out of the great player conversation because of some off the court issues. 

We all make mistakes, and no one is perfect...Melo is a very dedicated father, and talented athlete...so let's all stick to the script and understand him for who he is, and not what he is perceived to be.

Couldn't agree more. My Cousin Loves Carmelo, we even call him Melo for theheck of it, but Anthony is def a great player. He's the smoothest thing on the court I've seen in a while. His jumper is getting even better, and he's a burden on the boards for opponents. Soon he'll get what's coming to him, instead of the short end of the stick. Good one AG.

He's destined for more great things to come on the court. The off the court things are things he'll leanr and mature from. He doesn't try to disguise himself as perfect and owns up to mistakes.

I loved this guys game, the first time I seen him in an Orangemen game against Memphis in the Coaches vs Cancer game in the Garden. His mid-range game reminded me up Glen Robinson.

With the way Denver is playing, it could be a Melo vd. Bron finals.
