Carmelo Anthony talks about National Player of the Year going to TJ Ford

Carmelo Anthony had one of the greatest NCAA college careers ever in his one year playing for Syracuse. On a recent appearance on Uninterrupted’s WRTS: After Party show, the Portland Trail Blazers forward talked about how he ‘ got the heads up ‘ prior to the NCAA tournament that T.J. Ford of Texas had been given the award.

Longtime partner of LeBron James: Maverick Carter was also a guest on the show, and he asked Melo if Ford winning had lit a fire under him. Melo obviously had one of the greatest NCAA tournament runs of all-time as Syracuse won a National title with the six-foot-nine forward as their number one guy.
