The New York Knicks are in the midst of another losing season and it’s weighing heavy on Carmelo Anthony. The star player says he’s looking forward to playing in the Olympics to finally experience success.
via ESPN:
“From a morale standpoint as a player, if you’ve been through the things I’ve been through the past couple of years, you want to feel what that success feels like,” Anthony told reporters in Dallas on Tuesday. “You want that success. So the Olympics for me is great timing, especially coming off this season and injuries, and mentally it’s good for me to get out there and feel what that feels like again.”
Anthony, 31, is on the verge of missing the playoffs for the third straight season with the Knicks. He led teams to the postseason in the first 10 years of his career.
Anthony is no stranger to previous Olympic and collegiate success but it’s looking like the recent years with the Knicks is beginning to wear on him.
