Despite the pleas from the Knicks front office for Carmelo Anthony to shut it down for the season, the $125 million man would rather rest, and he how he feels in a few weeks.
In a video on the Uninterrupted page on Bleacher Report, Anthony asked Knicks fans to be patient with the team and the plan to rebuild.
“I’m all right, I’m not shutting it down for the season yet, just trying to take some time to get it right. I know there’s a lot of fans out there that are kinda upset, kinda down on the team, kinda down on the players right now, kinda down on the situation, but I will say it will be greater later. Just be patient with the team, with the organization, with the journey, with the plan, with what we’re trying to create, what we’re trying to accomplish. Greatness don’t happen overnight, but that’s what we’re trying to build here.
“As far as me, I’m rehabbing. I’m around the clock getting treatment, therapy, trying to do what I got to do so I can be at my greatest.”
Melo has to take his time and not try to prove his $125 million worth in one season. This season is wrap, and will be utilized to assess the younger players on the roster.
All Anthony can do is get healthy while leading in the proper manner.
