Thunder forward Paul George voiced his support for Carmelo Anthony after shootaround Monday, amid reports that the Rockets and Anthony may soon part ways.
“The reason the Rockets aren’t succeeding is not because of Melo,” George said of his former teammate. “It has nothing to do with Melo. For that to be the notion or the headlines is very inaccurate. Fact of the matter is they’re not playing great basketball right now as a group. They have great talent, great players, but it has nothing to do with Melo. Melo’s one of the best scorers, one of the best players, Hall of Famer.
