slow news day ,huh

Ah duh....you are the face of the team bro! ...take notes from LeBron.

Yeah he needs to do this, he needs to be a leader and more vocal.

Just like I said 2 months ago, that whole "trade Carmelo" nonsense was a smoke screen by the Nuggets to motivate him. Like him or not, you don't trade such a young player who's proven he can play in this league. At this point you go with a zero tolerance approach off the court and hope that he becomes a better all-around player on the court.

And to think some of you morons thought they were going to trade a star under 25 to keep overrated A.I., laughable at best.

Hahahahahaha... now that's funny. The man doesn't have the maturity to be a leader. He's just not a franchise player.

You might quit puffing those joints then......LOL

Whatever you do, don't take advice from AI.

Anthony will be a leader? And I suppose Iverson will become a lockdown defender as well?

I think AI was more of a detriment to the team then an advantage. Before AI, the Nuggets seemed to be on the upswing. Getting AI changed the outcome of the team. AI is really good individually but teamwise he is not. AI and Melo got 2/3 of the points and that's not a good thing for team chemistry. It makes the other players unreliable. Hard for others to step up. Melo would do better w/out AI.

He most certainly is a franchise player! He needs an attitude adjustment, but he can put the team on his back. Get a legit post player and you will see him thrive not just better numbers, but wins. He did win a title at Syracuse...no one questioned him there. Not every elite player can win a title and he is very young, so cut him some slack.

Talk is cheap. The Nuggets gave away their only defensive stopper. They will be lucky to win 30 games, regardless of who's speaking. The Nuggets were beaten by a better team. It only appeared they gave up. Trade Iverson, and it will get worse. They can battle the Knicks and the Heat for the official doormat of the NBA.

It's nice to see that he may be starting to get it.......
that his phyical tools alone will not get him an NBA title as he got in college- that there is a LARGE mental aspect to playing professional ball

I will believe it when I see it.

That means he has a solid connection to the tree and will be providing it to the rest of the team.

Melo is a beast, just watch the Olympics! He should be a leader because he is the face of the franchise. If he steps it up on the defensive end then he will be an all around complete player.

"If he steps it up on the defensive end then he will be an all around complete player."

LOL.

Carmelo Anthony is a chump.

Carmelo is a chump.

good he needs to

When will he be a leader xmas or new years?!!
