After Carmelo Anthony’s departure from the Houston Rockets, it’s been somewhat of a surprise that no other NBA team has offered him a contract. At the age of 35, Carmelo is more than capable of adding valuable minutes to any title contender. Of course, it hasn’t been all good.
Criticism of Carmelo Anthony being a shoot first guy, who doesn’t care about defense has long plagued him his entire career. According to former teammate Chauncey Billups, his love for scoring is exactly the reason why he is no longer in the league.
