Carmelo Anthony: At this point in time, in order to make certain things happen, I can’t put certain people in these situations to actually influence or mess this up. Bron couldn’t have known. He couldn’t. Rich Paul couldn’t know. Nobody else could know. He knew AD was unhappy. He knew AD was unhappy—that’s what he knew.

More on this storyline
Allie LaForce on the Mavs: “One big concern though is the safety of the players, the front office, going back to Dallas. We hope fans make the wise decision and remember that this is a game and lives are far more important.” -via reddit / February 7, 2025
“Probably a lot of heartbreak amongst the fans,” Klay Thompson said after scoring 25 points in a 127-120 victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Thursday. “Probably some boos. But, as a professional, you have to embrace everything, and we’re paid to play this game and perform at the highest level. “I don’t know what to expect. I know Luka was so dear to every Mavs fan’s heart. We’ve just got to win, and do it on a consistent basis, and give ourselves a chance to win the whole thing, and I think that will ease all of the fans’ pain and anger. “It’s going to be weird, but that’s what we sign up for.” -via ESPN / February 7, 2025
“It shows what Luka meant to the community. It shows how much the fan base loves him. Still loves him,” Dinwiddie said. “Also, I think for a fan base that had Dirk for 20 years and seemingly right when Dirk was about to retire, they got Dirk 2.0 in a sense, it’s understandable. Nobody is mad at Dallas fans for their reaction. With something that’s emotional, you have to give it a chance to process and feel and live in that moment.” -via ESPN / February 7, 2025
Carmelo Anthony: “Jimmy, man, chill out. Because they’re going to Marbury you. They’re going to tell you, ‘Don’t even come around no more until we figure out what’s next.’ And when they do that, there’s no other team you’re going to. -via YouTube / January 31, 2025
Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame nominee Carmelo Anthony and his high school coach, Steve Smith will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from Oak Hill Academy on Sunday February 2, 2025 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. The event will acknowledge both Anthony and Smith’s impact on the world of basketball, while also highlighting their influence as role models, philanthropists and leaders. -via ScoopB.com / January 27, 2025
NY Knicks PR: Jalen Brunson has recorded his 5,000th point as a Knick. He is now the fastest Knick to reach 5,000 points (190 games) passing Bernard King and Carmelo Anthony (191 games). -via Twitter @NY_KnicksPR / January 25, 2025
The 40-year-old forward became the oldest player to score at least 40 points in a single NBA game. Overall, he was the second over 40 with such a production after Michael Jordan. “What do I think? That I’m old,” he reacted, “I need a glass of wine and some sleep. That’s the first thing I think about.” “The biggest thing is we got the win, obviously,” he commented on his latest link to Jordan “But throughout my journey, anytime I’ve been named or in the category or whatever the case, crossed paths with any of the greats, it’s always humbling. Just to know where I come from. And I love the game so much. So it’s pretty cool.” -via EuroHoops.net / February 7, 2025
