LOS ANGELES -- Carmelo Anthony praised Michael Jordan for speaking out Monday on the country's growing racial and social unrest while also saying it was "about time" Jordan stepped up and took a stance and "put his money where his mouth is at" with two grants of $1 million each to two organizations working to build trust between the police and their communities.
"I thought it was brilliant and about time that he stepped up and said what he said," Anthony said later Monday following a meeting with community leaders in Los Angeles.
