For years, all we’ve heard is just how badly LeBron James wants to play with his buddies near the end or at some point in his career. One of these so-called “buddies,” though he wasn’t on the banana boat as so many find themselves confused with, is Carmelo Anthony.
Interestingly enough, however, each and every time LeBron’s had the opportunity to play with Melo, it hasn’t materialized.
Perhaps The King is a bit smarter than we all thing. Perhaps he wants no part in playing with Melo. Perhaps, he just doesn’t want to hurt his friend’s feelings which is why he keeps that public perception going.
