I know it’s hard for a guy who averaged over 22 a game last year to get the most improved player award but if there’s someone who can do it I think it’s Carmelo Anthony.  Yes I know we’re only two games in but have any of you seen this guy play yet?  He’s basically treating NBA players like he treated NCAA players while at Syracuse.

I’d say it’s pretty impossible to stop a guy who can pull up from 21 feet and nail it over 50% of the time, not to mention have the quickness to get past you in the lane.  Anthony can do it from anywhere on the court.  He’s got the height and speed to mess with forwards and embarrass guards.

Honestly I don’t think the NBA’s seen a pure scorer like this since Bernard King.  Barring any injuries I think Anthony might make a run at averaging over 25 a game, 6-7 boards,  and 2 assists.  That would make his fantasy owners quite happy.

Oh yeah, the reason for this transformation?  The kids is all growns up and he’s growns up and he’s growns up.  No more corn rows, no more stupid bullshit.  The guy decided it’s time to walk like a professional and act like one.

Oooohhhh!  Yeah I said it.  Corn rows don’t exactly exude professionalism now do they.  Ask Melo.  He’ll tell you.  The hairstyle is just indicative of Anthony taking basketball way more seriously than he did his first 2 seasons in the league.  It’s nice to see some guys mature.

Yeah I’d bang him.  Wait, what?
