Knicks · Melo On His Role As Leader (page 1)

Though Anthony didn’t say it, it could also be that he has finally learned from LeBron James, who guided the Heat to his first title by doing a lot more than ringing up big scoring totals. Anthony’s playoff resume, meanwhile, is checkered: In eight of his nine seasons, he has gone out in the first round.

“For me personally, I’m in my 10th year,’’ Anthony said. “Everyone pretty much knows I can score the basketball. But for me to challenge myself, instill the trust into my teammates to give them that confidence when they do shoot the ball, to have that confidence that they can make it happen as well. “I’m done trying to score 35, 40 points to win the basketball game. I don’t want that role anymore. I can do it. That’s what I do. But in order for this team to be successful, for guys we have right now, we need a more well-rounded team. If I have to sacrifice on the offensive end, I’m willing to do it. It’s easy for me to sit here and say it. But this year it’s going to be locking in and doing it as the leader of this team.’’

“We’re not paying attention to that this year,’’ Anthony said. “I spoke to [Stoudemire]. Nothing’s going to come between us in our locker room. We will be a tight group this season.’’

Sounds like the infidels have tore down the walls of Melo. Near 10yrs of mediocre results will do that to a player. Wish they would have been a 'TIGHT GROUP' last season

Yeah Jamal, Nate, Al Harrington used to talk about the same stuff for the most part before the season kicked off and then we saw something totally different.

I think this team will have very high and low moments this year. The rest of the East is too good unfortunately and our age is going to show up often

If "he" doesn't tell D'Antoni to put Lin in the NJ game, Lin is playing in China or overseas in Europe. Lin basically owes Carmelo commissions for saving his NBA career.

And the fact that you believe that he has the power to trade himself here, fire the coach all by himself and sign-up his boys, and tell the team not to resign Lin is delusional...

I think it hilarious that your outlet to Lin leaving is to blame Melo...Lin is in Houston right now talking about being a leader of the Rockets, exactly what he was looking for...

Lol, I'm actually pretty tired of the historical results... I want different results! Until then, I might prefer the talk... each fall I have the semblance of hope...

Here is my theory for this season -- The Camby Curse! Has the Camby Curse been reversed by trading for Camby again?

McDyess was traded to the Knicks on June 26, 2002 in exchange for Marcus Camby, Mark Jackson and the draft rights to Nenê, the seventh overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft.

But on October 8, 2002, with 1 minute 55 seconds left in an exhibition game against Phoenix, McDyess reinjured the knee while dunking a rebound.

In the 2003-2004 season, McDyess was traded to the Phoenix Suns after just 18 games with the Knicks in an eight-player deal that brought Stephon Marbury to New York.

REVERSE THE CURSE!!!
