LeBron James ‘Happy’ Blazers Gave Carmelo Anthony a Chance

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and fellow member of the 2003 NBA Draft class, has voiced his support of the Trail Blazers decision to sign 35-year-old forward Carmelo Anthony. Following a stalled 4-8 start to the season, the Blazers looked to Melo to boost their forward rotation. Following the news, LeBron spoke with USA Today’s Mark Medina about Melo’s next stop.

LeBron revealed that he was worried that Melo would not receive another chance in the NBA.

“I think everyone had doubt, including himself, probably,” the Los Angeles Lakers star said Friday.
