Amidst the incessant trade rumors and unsettling feuds, the New York Knicks have sent a powerful message: Carmelo Anthony is an excellent teammate. His fellow Knicks voted him Teammate of the Year, and a select few have taken to the media to defend his reputation.
Although Anthony remains at the heart of undying trade rumors, he hasn’t abandoned his duties as the leader of the Knicks’ generally young roster.
As Anthony has fended off questions about his future, three of his most prominent teammates have taken center stage at EuroBasket. Willy Hernangomez, Mindaugas Kuzminskas, and Kristaps Porzingis are representing their respective countries in a tournament that’s flush with NBA talent.
