The NBA star, Carmelo Anthony, grew up his whole life watching the Ravens play in the NFL. However, he calls this recent event “shocking”, as the league has fired John Harbaugh after he received a pink card. Haraugh has played for 18 years with the league and has achieved 193 wins in both regular and playoff games. The sudden firing of such an elite player from the league is not only a disbelief for Anthony but for all the NFL fans out there too.

Carmelo Anthony said, “I was shocked, but they gotta do what they gotta do. That front office knows what they're doing, man”. To this date, the Ravens are Anthony’s favorite NFL team, and no amount of firing elite players can change that fact. While the NBA star has full faith in the front desk, he is even more excited to see who is going to fill out Harbaugh’s vacancy on the team.

Carmelo Anthony weighs in on how Knicks are over-reliant on Jalen Brunson

In another series of events, Carmelo Anthony took a shot at the New York Knicks, thereby saying how the team has been avidly depending upon their elite player, Jalen Brunson. He said, “The shot creation, that burden on Jalen Brunson, is too heavy on his shoulders from a night-to-night basis. The margins are very thin. Because without easy offense, the Knicks missed shots that they turn into run-offs the other way”. The team’s heavy reliance has now cost them four straight games in a row, and that is evident.
