Keep an eye on your breadsticks
An All Star doesn’t miss the team plane.
An All Star doesn’t show up to practice drunk.
An All Star doesn’t punch you in the face when your back is turned.
Carmelo Anthony is no All Star.
Not to say he’s a drunk or a jet dodger. But if you are going to go out for a nice meal withYello Mello, make sure you keep your eyes front. As soon as you look away, he might punch you in the face and steal your breadsticks.
Yeah, he leads the NBA in scoring at 31.3 ppg. But an All Star is there, night in and night out. Denver has played 44 games. Carmelo? 29. His team is two games above .500. Without him they were 7-8.
Fact is, the kid should be taking Syracuse into the promised land right now as a much-ballyhooed senior. The kid is just 22. He should be beating up freshmen on his way to the freshly-tapped keg at some frat party tonight. Not spitting in the popcorn at Madison Square Garden.
Should David Thaddeus Stern select him to replace Yao on the Western Conference roster for the forthcoming Feb. 18 All Star gala, It will be a blatant public relations move. At the same time, it will be a blatant PR move to NOT select him.
Given the choice between the two evils, I am going to go off the board and pick the Bears minus-7 points.
Below — Carmelo: No All Star.
