"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.

Respect

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.

"I got stripes...adi-das..."

Lil' Wayne - Swagga Like Us

I watched any and everything that dealt with basketball in my youth, as my favorite television program was NBA Inside Stuff. In fact the only reason why I went to college was so that I could learn and study TV and Film...so that one day I could host my own show.

Hoop Dreams

Halftime was always my favorite part of an NBA telecast because that is when they would show interviews with the star players. I'd watch them and envision myself as the host speaking with Charles Barkley, or Johnny Dawkins. The thing that I didn't like was how generic the segment was, so I knew that if ever given a chance to shine in front of a camera, that I would always do my best to deliver to the audience a superior product.

I made my first TV appearance on ESPN2's Cold Pizza in February 2004. The show aired live, and from that moment on, I've worked hard to keep my name relevant and image clean in an effort for more opportunities on camera.

In the meantime, I started my own web series on YouTube, and facebook, entitled GAME TIME, and in the episode above, I was able to speak to Dwight Howard in the fashion that not only makes people smile and enjoy the show, but it also brings a smile to my face, and heart...just like I had dreamed many years ago.
