| Re: At Denver March 9 9PM
From the AP: Quote:
The Nuggets, who've dropped three of their last four, are beginning to hear it from the fans. As he walked off the court, Carmelo Anthony said a fan screamed at him.
''One of the guys in the stands said something like, 'Melo, you suck,''' said Anthony, who had 17 points. ''He said, 'Why you here in Denver?' I understand from a fan's standpoint that they want their team to win. But when you go overboard like that, it's uncalled for. If we retaliate, then we're the bad people. I tried to keep my mouth shut at the end.''
[...]Anthony is getting used to the life of changing diapers, midnight feedings and limited sleep. He became a father on Wednesday when his fiancee, actress La La Vazquez, gave birth to the 5-pound, 9-ounce Kiyan Anthony.
''It has been a blessing,'' said Anthony, whose son's name is his and his father's middle name.
The birth, albeit only two days ago, has already mellowed Anthony. He showed restraint when the fan heckled him.
''I won't put as much stress on myself,'' Anthony said. ''I can now just go home and see him and put all that other stuff behind me. It will take a burden off myself.''
| What is this lame attempt of the writer to portray Melo as this mature level-headed guy? You shouldn't get props for NOT RETALIATING against heckling fans. "Showing restraint" is expected of you as an NBA player and a professional in the workplace, and 98% of the league does it without being hailed in the media for it. |
