Carmelo Anthony seems to be a very nice guy. There was nothing wrong with him taking the money and going back to New York, I’d never begrudge a player for getting paid.
Publicly, he has never said a bad word about anyone, even though there are always “sources” saying he is upset. Everyone likes to take shots at him and that just comes with the territory of being a franchise guy.
But, when 23-year-old tennis players are calling you soft, that has to be an all-time low.
“I just feel that Carmelo, he is a bit soft,” she said. “Now, this is just my own personal opinion. I think he is soft. I don’t think he has a killer instinct in his eyes, at least this last year. I believe he does have it, because I’ve seen it when they’ve gone to the playoffs.”
“And I also think he needs people around him that have that killer instinct, because then that brings it out of you,” Vandeweghe said. “And with him taking such a high salary, I think that kind of handcuffs the Knicks in being able to get those types of players that are getting big contracts. There’s no way around that.”
Those were CoCo Vandeweghe’s thoughts on Melo, why she is talking about Melo who knows. Maybe he will call her a glazed donut face in response.
