NBA – Carmello Anthony transferred to the New York Knicks

When it comes to NBA, it is a well-known fact that Basketball, at this level, is a game played by superstars. This holds true particularly if you are playing in the Easter Conference. The New York Knicks were certainly missing that superstar factor. Yes, the Knicks have Amare Stoudemire in their rooster and yes, he has led the team to an unprecedented (at least since the turn of the century) 28-26 season, to hold on strongly to a sixth place in the Easter Conference that might as well just earn the team its first playoffs berth since 2004.

Some are venturing to say, even before Mello plays its first game in New York, that this is the best decision the franchise has made since the Knicks picked Patrick Ewing as the No.1 pick in the 1985 draft. Most of the speculation comes from the idea that both Stoudemire and Mello could mix in for quite an aggressive offensive front. Stoudemire has said that with his 26.1 point per game average added to Mello’s 25.2, the Knicks are going to be a really hard team to guard from now on.

Yes, on the long run
