Carmelo Anthony Might Be Losing More Than Just Allen Iverson

Other than the fact that he's famous, fabulously wealthy, and can dunk on Jerome Williams, Carmelo Anthony has a lot in common with people like you and me. We all love soup, the outdoors, talking and not talking. I mean, we could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about. You know? Anyway, now it looks like 'Melo might be facing yet another "Average Joe" problem that we've all had to deal with at one time or another: He might lose his personal chef to President-elect Barack Obama.Yes, in addition to all the other important things he has to do - like fixing the economy and stopping that invasion of killer space monkey clones from the future - Obama has to select the new White House chef. Candidates include Rick Bayless ("of Topolobampo fame"), Art Smith (Oprah's personal chef) and Daniel Young, who cooked for Obama at the Democratic National Convention and is Anthony's personal chef. That would be a real bummer for 'Melo. Losing AI and his chef? If I hear his posse members start defecting to join Kobe's posse, We might need to send him a fruit basket or something. He'd probably be grateful for the eats. Yes, we can cook [Boston.com]
