Melo: No need to use buddies' playoff success as motivation

LOS ANGELES -- For the fourth straight season, New York Knicks forward Carmelo
 Anthony will likely be watching the playoffs from home.

During that stretch, Anthony has watched his good friends LeBron James and Chr
is Paul make the playoffs each season -- and in James' case, win a championshi
p. Another buddy, Dwyane Wade, has been to the playoffs twice since Melo last
played in the postseason.

When asked if his peer group's achievements make him feel like he's missing ou
t, Anthony said he doesn't need to compare himself to his pals to yearn for pl
ayoff competition.

"No, not even that," Anthony said at shootaround Monday, ahead of the Knicks'
matchup with Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers. "Not even because of that poin
t that you just made. I think it's more for kind of just me, and the competito
r that I am, the person that I am. I want to be there. I don't have to look at
 someone else's situation and say, 'Oh, I miss that, or I want that, or I need
 that.'"

The Knicks are 27-42 and 6? games out of the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Confere
nce, essentially eliminating them from the postseason this late in the season.
 Anthony, 32, says he has been forced to reflect on his future with the Knicks
, including whether he can ever win in New York.

"Honestly, I think about it a lot," Anthony said. "I try to put everything int
o perspective. I think about it all. I think about here. I think about the pos
tseason. I think about my teammates. I just think about everything. It's not j
ust one specific thing that I think about. I think about it a lot. I try to pu
t everything into perspective.

"I try to hear other people's advice, other people's take on it. But at the en
d of the day, it's on me."

Given that Anthony has lived in Los Angeles in the offseason for seven years a
nd reportedly was mentioned in trade talks with the Clippers before this seaso
n's deadline, he was asked if he has ever seriously considered playing for eit
her Clippers or Lakers.


"No, no. I haven't thought about it," Anthony said. "I mean, there was an oppo
rtunity during the deadline, and there was always talk over the past couple se
asons with me somehow being connected to the Clippers or Lakers.

"At first it was the Lakers, and then now it's the Clippers situation. So I tr
y not to think about that, especially now when I'm still playing with the New
York Knicks. I've got to go out there and prepare to play against these guys a
nd other teams."

By sheer coincidence, the NBA's schedule-makers put the Knicks and James' Clev
eland Cavaliers in Los Angeles during the same weekend. But Anthony said he, J
ames and Paul weren't able to find time to get together.

"No. Unfortunately, no," Anthony said. "We didn't get a chance to meet up and
talk like we wanted, to talk about the weather. We play tonight and we leave t
onight. Nah, we didn't get a chance. Everybody's schedule is kind of hectic. E
ven though everybody is here, it's a little bit hectic."



連續四個賽季，紐約尼克隊的前鋒Carmelo Anthony很可能又只能坐在家裡看季後賽。








當問到他是否同梯兄弟們的成就讓他覺得有點被忽略了？Melo表示他不需要拿自己和他
兄弟比較，當作競爭季後賽的動力。





我不想因為看到別人有什麼成就然後就說：喔!我錯過那機會了，或我想要那個，我需要
那個"














"我曾試著聽從別人的建議，別人幫我做的決定，但到了最後，一切還是取就於我自己"








"不，我從來不曾想過這些，"Melo說，我的意思是，那些事情在交易截止日前都有可能發
生，且這在之前的好幾個賽季人們也總是用各種方式把我和這兩隊連結在一起。




"一開始是湖人，現在話題又慢慢轉移到了快艇隊上，所以我都試著不去思考這些，特別
是現在我還在為紐約尼克隊打球，我需要準備好然後上場面對這些對手和球隊。"




很巧合的是，NBA在同個週末把尼克隊和姆斯的騎士隊的比賽都安排在了洛杉磯，但Melo
表示，他和LBJ和CP3都不會找時間出來聚一聚。

心得：

尼克隊越來越爛了
Melo還不逃嗎？？？

兄弟籃球正夯啊！
