A close confidant of Carmelo Anthony told the New York Post on Tuesday that the Nuggets forward is a better fit for the Knicks than LeBron James.
"Nothing would bother him," the confidant said of Anthony playing in New York. "The media wouldn't bother him because he really likes people. The pressure wouldn't bother him because he loves to have the game in his hands. Nothing bothers him."
James spurred New York and Cleveland by joining Miami last month. If the Knicks were able to land Anthony, all would be forgotten.
"He's a better fit for New York than LeBron," said the confidant. "Melo is one of those guys who could handle New York very, very well.
"He understands that part of the business and nothing scares him. He's fearless."
