Melo's Putting on a Show...

Game 1 = 39 pts, 6 Reb, 4 Ast.
Game 2 = 34 pts, 9 Reb, 4 Ast.
His 5th Straight 30+ point game. WOW

Did you happen to check out the Western Conference Finals Game 2? Lakers vs. Nuggets. What about Carmelo Anthony? Is he on complete fire or what? If you've read any of my earlier blog entries you will see that I have been down with Carmelo for a while now. While everyone was on the Kobe, LaBron, DWade train (okay I was too) Carmelo was lighting up the score board and propelling the Nuggets into the Playoffs. I am so proud of him. He didn't get into the MVP hype and just chilled and played his game. According to him, he perfected his game all of this season adding much more defense and team basketball to the arsenal after listening and learning a lot during last summer as part of the US Men's Basketball team. I have really taken notice from the beginning though. Having Carmelo on my Fantasy Basketball team and watching him bring me through almost every game, I knew he was going to show the world what he had once he got a chance. He was one of two players (Mo Williams) on my team that I could really count on throughout the season.

It is just so funny how everyone has jumped on the Carmelo ban wagon now. Everyone from the TNT staff to the NBA-TV staff and the ESPN staff also. Like he just got this good. Give me a break. I know Carmelo is laughing his ass off every time he hears someone put his name on the elite list now. Cuz he just kept it cool all season and did his damn thing and now the lights are on him and he is giving to the world. Great job MELO. I am one of the biggest Kobe fans ever and I really believe that you can never go against Kobe because hell, he is Kobe. But, I since he already has a couple of rings, I am really hoping the Nuggets will make it out of this series. I can't wait to see a Carmelo vs. LaBron showdown. I got you though Melo. Holla.
