It was a rough year for Carmelo Anthony. He moved to a new city, he went from being the first option on the Knicks to the third option on the thunder, and he gave up a lot in the process. As Melo himself put it “I’ve sacrificed damn near everything, and was willing to sacrifice nearly everything for this situation to work out.” And despite all that, the Thunder lost in the first round.
After playing the good soldier all year, Melo let some anger out in his exit interview. “It wasn’t no strategy to me being here, me being a part of the actual system and what type of player and things like that,” he declared.
