Perpmelo finally does something

Congratulations Knicks fans, Stephon Marbury's back in town, so is Jared Jeffries, and soon we'll have Isiah Thomas coaching the team again (once D'Antoni is unfairly run out of town). We can relive the last 15 years of toture, hurray! What a great trade!

Stephon Marbury... oh wait, I meant... Carmelo Anthony finally contributed down the stretch of a close game after whining and complaining like a prima donna for the last 2 weeks. After hitting a game-winner his first week with the team, Knicks fans were likely thinking that this was a sign of good things to come. Not quite. Primarily due to the crappy Perpmelo trade, the Knicks have fallen to 7th in the East, behind the Sixers (ugh), and are now in place to face the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. They've got a good chance.... NOT.

I heard Jerome James had a good game at the park the other day. Hey Knicks, why not bring him back too? Thanks a lot Perpmelo.

The New Stephon Marbury?

After trading half their team away to Denver for Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks are reeling, having lost 7 of their last 8 and fallen behind the 76ers (REALLY?) in the playoff chase, while the Nuggets have been on fire, having gone 9-2 post-trade. Just recently, Carmelo failed to score a field goal in the 4th quarter against the Celtics, a team the Knicks might see in the first round of the playoffs.

Carmelo has always had problems with authority. In the Olympics he refused to enter the game because he felt he wasn't getting enough touches. Under George Karl he acted like a real perp, causing Karl to become distant from the team and eventually develop a life-threatening disease (maybe that's not on Carmelo).

Rumors were swirling that Carmelo hid on the bus after the Celtics game like a bratty 8 year old kid who struck out in tee-ball. Is Carmelo really a punk, prima donna athlete who will never live up to potential (like my man Stephon) or will he live up to the hype and be successful in New York? I predict that he fails. Expect to see him playing in China in a couple years and looking something like this:
