The most popular jersey among more than 100 kids in the Mack Sports Complex on Friday at Hofstra Summer Camps was Carmelo Anthony’s No. 7, in Knicks blue and orange. But when the camp’s guest speaker, former Knicks star and current assistant general manager Allan Houston, was asked if that’s the jersey Anthony will be wearing for the upcoming season, the two-time All-Star shooting guard wouldn’t take the open shot.
“That’s not for me to speak on,” Houston said with a laugh. “That’s for the boss.”
Houston did have kind words for his new bosses, president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry.
