Carmelo Anthony our home town hero has return to the Big apple. After a long off season and uncertainty of weather Melo will return he has agreed to a 5 year deal worth 120 Million. Yes Melo is coming back to play for the knicks. This is great news for our city and we look forward in seeing him and Phill Jackson work together to bring home the championship. Check Carmelo statement he left on his website about his decision.
“A few years ago I dreamed of coming back to New York City, the place of my birth, and on February 23, 2011 that became a reality. This organization has supported me and in return, I want to stay and build here with this city and my team. At this pivotal juncture in my career, I owed it to myself and my family to explore all of the options available to me. Through it all, my heart never wavered.
During this journey I met with some quality organizations who have amazing talent and leadership. I thank them for their consideration, belief in my talent, and opportunity to imagine the possibilities.
I will always remember this chapter in my life. In the end, I am a New York Knick at heart. I am looking forward to continuing my career in Orange & Blue, and to working with Phil Jackson, a champion who builds championship teams. Madison Square Garden is the mecca of basketball and I am surrounded by the greatest fans in the world”.
