Royce White who currently plays in the Big 3 League recently spoke with Fanatics Vew on Carmelo potentially being blackballed by the NBA. Royce who goes on a rant states,
“Why is Lebron letting his banana boat buddy wait out there in the wings”
White, who also states that a person of Lebron caliber refuses to voice his opinion on the Melo saga. He believes that if Lebron really spoke out against Melo not being on a roster, that he would indeed be signed one way or the other. There were reports that Anthony was potentially ready to sign with the Brooklyn Nets, but those talks have staggered as of recently.
Royce further goes off and continues by stating,
“If anybody thinks Dudley can hold Carmelo’s jockstrap I’ll slap them”
This frustration comes from Carmelo not signed to a current NBA roster, and not even being invited to compete with Team USA in the FIBA tournament.
The depleted Team USA roster has had stars drop left and right and the fact that Carmelo doesn’t even get an invite shows you how little the NBA and Team USA feel about Melo being able to compete at the highest level. But the question here is, do they really feel Melo can’t compete or will he be a distraction?
Jared Dudley rightfully points out how Royce sounds like an idiot in his reply on Twitter
