Not everything that happens during the NBA lockout is bad: Delonte West makes his job applications public, Delonte West makes his broken-down Ford Bronco public, Chris Paul goes on Family Feud, and—provided that they cover up the Adidas logo on their shirts—Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire get to hang out with a puppet named Grover on public access television.

Watch Highlights From A Summer-League Game In Which LeBron And Durant Do A Lot Of Dunking

Emma Carmichael — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 11:20:00 EDT

The Goodman and Melo league teams played in front of about 5,000 people at Morgan State University in Baltimore last night. Carmelo Anthony had recruited LeBron James and Chris Paul to join the Baltimore side, which means that this game was much more Kevin Durant vs. King James than it was D.C. vs. Baltimore. The two guarded each other and even reportedly played some one-on-one defense; Durant finished with 59 points to LeBron's 38, but ~~Goodman~~Melo won, 149-141. More »

Chris And Carmelo's Excellent Chinese Adventure Continues With Interpretive Masked Opera Dance

Emma Carmichael — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 11:50:00 EDT

Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade are all on board for this year's week-long Jordan Brand Flight Tour in China, during which the players will "introduce China specific editions of [Nike's] signature products that takes inspiration from the Chinese culture as well as the athlete's style of play." In other words, they will shoot a few baskets in shiny sneakers, pose with panda bears, and make somewhat earnest attempts at a Chinese opera mask dance. This is what global branding is all about.

Carmelo Anthony Is The Panda Whisperer

Barry Petchesky — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 18:20:33 EDT

Melo is traveling across Asia on a Nike promotional tour, and as we all know there's nothing to do in China but pose with disoriented panda cubs on your lap. Look at that thing! Its little paws joined in supplication, its little panda cloaca (or whatever) splayed to the world. Panda doesn't care about Carmelo making his HAM face, panda just wants some bamboo. God, I want a panda. More »

The Chris Sheridan-Peter Vecsey Blood Feud Enters Court, Hilariously

Luke O'Brien — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:15:47 EDT

Journalism fight! Journalism fight! Let's all throw spicy language and felt-tip pens at one another! Yesterday, ESPN's Chris Sheridan sued the New York Post's Peter Vecsey and his employer for libel in NY State Supreme Court. The bone of contention was a "scandalous diatribe" (to quote the complaint) that the "vituperative" Vecsey wrote on December 14, 2010. Its subject: that Sheridan was full of hooey for reporting two days earlier that Carmelo Anthony had told the Nuggets he'd only agree to sign a contract extension if he were traded to the Knicks.

What We Talk About When We Talk About The Carmelo Anthony Trade

Luke O'Brien — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:30:09 EST

As the clamor surrounding the Carmelo Anthony and Deron Williams trades mercifully subsides, it would be easy to lend credence, as some basketball observers have done, to a silly and shopworn conclusion: that the inmates are running the asylum. Last week, Dick Vitale used almost those exact words to describe Anthony's decision to bull his way out of Denver, ignoring the fact that both players and teams are captives of exceptional circumstance as the NBA tilts toward a lockout.

Carmelo Anthony Decided That New York Was The Place To "Bring My Talent"

Emma Carmichael — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 18:00:00 EST

MSG Demands New Yorkers Get Emotional About Carmelo's Not-Really Homecoming

Emma Carmichael — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 16:10:00 EST

The New York Knicks will officially introduce Carmelo Anthony with a press conference at 5:00 p.m. today, and he'll suit up against the Bucks two hours later. The hype has been sufficiently hyped: a bargain StubHub ticket is currently about $170 for a Mezzanine Corner seat. Not to be left out, the official Madison Square Garden site has released its own digital welcome to Anthony, who lived in Red Hook, Brooklyn until he was 8 years old... and then moved to Baltimore. But this video here makes a solid effort at getting New Yorkers — probably feeling unstable with the sudden drops and leaps in temperature this past week and rather insecure following today's Deron Williams trade — to weep with joy and allegiance. A Brooklyn-ish boy come home to boost the Knicks. Take a Diddy hook, some out-of-context 'Melo quotes, a few Manhattan skyline shots, and you've got a promotional video. Your move, Prudential-Barclays Center. More »

Lament Of The Knicks Fan Living Under The Specter Of Isiah

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:20:00 EST

We see the masses in Tunisia, in Egypt, in Libya, and we rejoice. We rejoice for the rare illustration of that most deeply held human belief — that the people must not be subject to the leadership they do not choose. We rejoice, and yet we are conflicted, because we feel ground under a similar despotic heel, with no relief in sight. The voice of the people can depose Ben Ali, Mubarak, Gaddafi. But can it not exile Isiah Thomas? More »
