Carmelo Anthony, in quelling a misperception that communication between himself and the Knicks has been scarce, said he has had “great conversations’’ with the team and “they know how I feel’’ and “what I’m looking for.’’
In an interview from Baltimore, site of The Basketball Tournament (which he hosted), the embattled star said on ESPN’s SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt his chief goal is “winning a championship’’ and regaining “joy’’ for the game, which he admitted waned during Phil Jackson’s reign.
On Wednesday, at an event in which he received a medal of honor from Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, Anthony said he had “talked’’ and “communicated’’ with new general manager Scott Perry, but was vague to what extent.
