Carmelo Anthony on coming back to the Knicks before retiring: They offered me a role at the end of the bench, but I couldn’t do that

Carmelo Anthony on returning to New York: “At that point, I’m like, you know what, my plan is playing out the way that I wrote it out, right? To come back to New York, finish it out in New York, have my year, play. It’s a good team. I still can play ball; I still can help the team out. It was just like the vision I had. Damn, you know, my goal was to always make it back here to finish it out here anyway. So that was my plan. I moved out the city, got the crib out there by, you know what I mean, I got the crib out in the county, so it was like, okay, this is going to happen. The energy is there; the conversations are there. It’s like, oh, like this is going to happen.” -via YouTube / August 27, 2024
