The people who are telling Melo this are very intelligent, there is nothing good that can come from Melo hobbling around trying to carry an awful team.
Here are the details.
Carmelo Anthony is questionable again for Thursday’s game against the Bulls, and the seven-time All-Star acknowledged that the Knicks’ sorry plight is causing him to resist the urging of others to shut down his bothersome left knee.
“I’ve had multiple people say kind of just shut it down or just take time off. At the end of the day it’s hard for me to just do that right now with what’s happening with the team. So I’m just trying to be smart about it.”
The smart thing would be to get surgery rest up and pray every day Phil Jackson upgrades the next year.
