WHAT A JOKE
Boy oh boy is David Stern finally getting what he deserves. The self proclaimed crowned king of major sports commissioners has a serious problem on his hands and here's a bet he does nothing about it, as usual when an NBA star is talking his talk. Carmelo Anthony, who is under contract with the Denver Nuggets is saying publicly, he will only sign an extension, which Denver has had on the table for months, with the New York Knicks or New Jersey Nets. What a great guy. I'm taking my ball and going home and I'll only play where I want. The trouble is, the owner in Denver is already paying a boatload of cash for him to play at a "superstar" level for his team. The league should take Carmelo's comments serious and hit him exactly where it hurts the most. Fine his "backside", fine the Knicks and Nets for tampering and remove them as destinations sites for his upcoming free agency.
Stern, for years has tended to side with players over ownership. The NBA could quickly in the future be looking at a league concentrated in the larger media type cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami etc. And if you're an owner in places like Sacramento, Minneapolis, Cleveland and Charlotte you're out of luck but please keep writing those checks.
Bottom line...Carmelo is a spoiled brat bum of a player that shows no willingness to ascend to greatness on his own. And just like his compatriot, LeBron James, will hopefully never earn a ring to legitimize his self importance.
