Carmelo Anthony says he wants to be a “big brother’’ to Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis because he “feels bad for him’’ and Porzingis may not know what he’s in for.
“As far as him going into this season, I kind of feel bad for him,’’ Anthony said during Monday’s Media Day in Tarrytown. “There’s so much pressure on him. This guy hasn’t played one minute in the NBA. I’m going to try be a big brother to him and try to take the pressure off. There’s going to be so much pressure he’s never experienced yet. He’s 19 years old, first time in the NBA.
