If you aren’t an OG, you might have forgotten that Carmelo Anthony spent seven and a half seasons in Denver with the Nuggets.
He even led the Nuggets to the Western Conference Finals one year. This was early in his relationship with LaLa, and it seemed everything was going well. Until Carmelo decided he didn’t want to be in Denver anymore and demanded a trade to the Knicks. The Knicks had to send over so many assets to the Nuggets that they weren’t even entirely in title contention except for maybe one year and haven’t recovered since.
LaLa has terrible memories of the trade for different reasons.
La La Anthony is spillin’ more tea on her marriage to Carmelo … revealing this week that the Knicks trade for her former NBA superstar hubby led to the couple’s “demise.”
The T.V. personality went on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast on Wednesday to talk about the difficulties of being a wife of a 10-time NBA All-Star … and she unveiled that everything was good between the two — until New York got involved.
La La — who married Melo in July 2010 — says their relationship was gravy when the basketball player was starring for the Denver Nuggets … but got dicey when he was traded to the Knicks in February 2011.
“When we lived here [in New York] under all of that [attention], that’s when things became complicated,” La La said.
“I think that was kind of the start. Now that I look back, that was kind of the start of the demise of the marriage.”
The NY native says the bright lights of the city weren’t the only things that started the problems between her and Melo, but they were some of the hardest things to deal with.
Carmelo got at least two and possibly three women pregnant while he was married to LaLa before she finally pulled the plug on their marriage.
