News Report: Carmelo Anthony Preparing to Announce That He is Not a Superstar
“Carmelo has been fighting with this for a long time,” said a Knicks team official. “It’s not that he doesn’t want to be on the level of guys like Kobe and Lebron. He does. Unfortunately, even though he has a cool, unique name like those guys, he’s not nearly as good as them. And it’s hard to live and perform under the expectations that he is.”
Anthony’s arrival in New York via a blockbuster trade with the Denver Nuggets last season only increased the pressure to perform on a player who won an NCAA title as a freshman and was selected No. 3 overall in 2003 between Lebron James at No. 1 and Dwyane Wade at No. 5.
“Why can’t people just think of Carmelo as a good player?” said a close friend of Anthony’s. “Like: ‘Boy, that Carmelo is pretty good,’ instead of ‘Carmelo sure isn’t living up to expectations’ or ‘that Carmelo is the shittiest superstar ever.’ That stuff hurts.”
Despite high expectations in New York, Anthony’s Knicks are only 7-11 while his former Nuggets team has greatly improved without him and has the second-best record in the Western Conference.
“I have nothing but positive things to say about Carmelo,” said Nuggets head coach George Karl. “He would be a great piece here. Just imagine how great he would be to bring off the bench as a scoring threat. He’d be the superstar of sixth men.”

From a Coach: Issue #16

I was a freshman in high school, but it was a small high school so everyone was practically on the varsity team. My freshman year I was standing next to a coach, who was also a gym teacher, and a senior on the team and overheard them talking. Coach says to the senior, “Yeah, it was so big he must pass out anytime he gets hard.”
That coach later had a incident in the school where an angry daughter of his caught him cheating and dumped a bag of his sex toys on the gym floor in the middle of a class.

At the end of every basketball season, my basketball coach met with all of the players individually to debrief and talk about off-season workouts and the next season. I was a three-sport athlete, but quit football and baseball before my junior year to completely focus on basketball. I had a good junior year, but as a senior we went a disappointing 14-12, I hurt my ankle and I even lost my starting job for a few games in the middle of the season. Fast-forward to my debriefing meeting with coach and he leads off with: “You know, you probably have to wonder if basketball was the right sport for you.” He really knew how to cheer a guy up.
