Hseasons ace Carmelo Anthony seemed forgotten by the NBA. Closer to forced withdrawal than to return to the courts. Only one name seemed capable of getting him out of ostracism and out of the gyms from which he posted videos of his workouts: LeBron James. The personal bond between the two players fueled rumors of a possible arrival of Melo to the Lakers. Although this never occurred because the sports management did not see clearly his hiring.
At least not until this season. Last August the Angelina franchise announced the signing of Anthony, fulfilling the wishes of LeBron James who finally play alongside his promotion partner (numbers 1 and 3 of the 2003 draft). Carmelo himself was in charge of announcing his signing, by the Lakers, which will be his sixth team in the NBA after Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets y Portland Trail Blazers.
“Now is the time,” said the New York player who explained how his signing took place and that it was all due to a call from LeBron.
“He called me. This time it was real, it was not a hoax and this time I did not expect it from him. Although it is true that we have been talking for years about the possibility of playing together. This time I hear him, he’s my brother, you know? I’ve known him since we were 15 years old. Then I heard him: ‘I need you.’ Needless to say more. He didn’t have to say anything else. I knew the time had come because he called me directly. The general manager did not. He is the real GM. “
The friendship between the two great stars of his generation goes beyond basketball. As Anthony revealed during confinement, LeBron even saved his life on a vacation to the Bahamas. “We jumped from a boat into the water to see the Bahamas and dive there. Then, once we saw it all, we went back. Everyone went to the boat but I stood there looking at the corals. It was my fault to do that. water the current had carried me to the middle of the sea in the opposite direction from the ship, at that moment thousands of things began to pass through my head. I looked at the boat from afar and saw LeBron jump into the water like he was MacGyver.. He came to me and brought me back swimming with one arm and holding me with the other. It saved my life, “he said.
