Carmelo Anthony Isn’t Thinking About Tanking

As the fans call for the Knicks to embrace the tank and improve their draft positioning, Carmelo Anthony refuses to accept an intentional loss.

According to Steve Popper of The Record, Anthony doesn’t understand how any player could go into a game with the mentality that they need to lose.

I don’t know how you go into a game saying, ‘Today we’re going to try to lose this game or these next 15 games, 20 games, we’re going to figure out ways to lose and tank the season and try to start thinking about draft picks.’ Even if the Knicks were to lose in the first round, simply getting back to the playoffs would be progress for the veterans and for that matter, the young players.
