White: 'Blackballed' Melo left hanging by LeBron

Former NBA first-round pick Royce White believes Carmelo Anthony has been "blackballed" by the league and he thinks LeBron James is partly to blame.

"'Melo is absolutely being blackballed," White, who plays in the BIG3 league, told Fanatics View on Saturday. "He's one of the realest in [the league]. ... He's given too much to the game for them not to allow him to play or for them to kind of culturally just make an agreement that he's not good enough anymore. All of us here that played the game at the highest level know how good Melo is.
