During basketball camp, the Knicks superstar made some strong remarks about the Atlanta Hawks. Hit the jump for details.
Via USA Today:
The Atlanta Hawks are in turmoil in the wake of a racist e-mail self reported by owner Bruce Levenson and general manager Danny Ferry’s announcement that he will take a leave of absence after making racist comments while reading a scouting report.
At his basketball camp in New York, Carmelo Anthony said that Levenson and Ferry’s remarks were “uncalled for,” and that he thinks the situation in Atlanta will make it much harder for the team to attract talent.
“[There] ain’t nobody [who] would want to go there. At the end of the day, Atlanta, I think it puts Atlanta back even further now, from that standpoint.”
“Atlanta is a great city, a great market, great people, great atmosphere. But as far as the comments [that] were made, I think it was uncalled for. From an owner, from a GM, those are not things you play with…. I’m speaking on behalf of all athletes. We would never look at a situation like that, I don’t care what it is.”
