Carmelo Anthony on Why He’s Never Accepting a Bench Role & Plans to Collect His Check Next Year With Thunder

“I’m not sacrificing no bench role,” Anthony told reporters Saturday after the Oklahoma City Thunder were eliminated from the postseason, according to ESPN.com’s Royce Young. “So that’s out of the question.”

Anthony added he’s given up plenty.

“I think everybody knows I’ve sacrificed damn near everything and was willing to sacrifice nearly everything for this situation to work out,” he said, per TheOklahoman‘s Erik Horne.

We will see if Thunder head coach Billy Donovan agrees with Melo’s outlook on his role moving forward. Especially since all signs point to Melo picking up his player option worth about $28 million next season.
