No player has been as overtly optimistic about the 2015-16 New York Knicks as Carmelo Anthony. Despite the massive roster overhaul, Anthony has taken every possible opportunity to express his faith in the future of the organization—both in the short-term and the long-term.
This is, without a shadow of a doubt, his boldest claim yet.
Anthony has publicly stated he will mentor rookie Kristaps Porzingis, thus disproving reports that he’s unhappy with New York selecting the Latvian big man. He’s scoffed at the idea that he’s no longer a superstar.
