Carmelo Anthony has been chastised throughout his entire career because he's never been able to thrive in the post-season. Despite being a cerebral scorer who can torch any defender on the offensive end, he always receives the wrong end of the stick. He's now 32 years-old and there are some that believe his playing days might be limited because of age and injuries.
Recently, Slam Magazine placed Carmelo as the 15th best player in the NBA, which perturbed number 7, causing him to respond on Instagram and bash the reputable basketball publication. Even though Melo admits that the placement doesn't necessarily serve as motivation, we're sure that he'll be subconsciously thinking about the slap in the face this season. For Knicks fans, this might be the extra push Melo needs to propel them back into the NBA spotlight. Take a look at some of Melo's biggest moments when his back was against the wall.
