Here are a few things that Carmelo has done:
Since entering the NBA, Anthony has been the subject of numerous controversies. In 2004, Anthony was cited for marijuana possession, after inspectors at Denver International Airport found marijuana in his backpack. Charges were later dropped after Anthony’s friend, James Cunningham, of St. Louis, signed an affidavit taking responsibility for the marijuana. In 2006, Anthony’s friend, Tyler Brandon Smith, was pulled over in Anthony’s vehicle and cited for marijuana possession and three traffic violations.
In 2004, Anthony appeared in a video entitled, Stop Snitchin', which warned that residents of Baltimore who collaborated with the police would face violence. Anthony later distanced himself from this video.
In 2006, Anthony was involved in the infamous Knicks-Nuggets brawl during a game at Madison Square Garden. He was suspended 15 games as a result.
On April 14, 2008, Anthony was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, after being pulled over on southbound Interstate 25 at 20th Street in Denver for weaving through lanes and not dimming his lights. Police spokesperson Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony, who was alone in the car, failed a series of sobriety tests. He was ticketed and then released at police headquarters to a "sober responsible party." A court date was set for May 14.
If this was the NFL the player would be suspensioned and maybe banned with the background he has!! Do I agree with the NFL? To a point!! Do I agree with the NBA? NO!!! They are all professionals and should learn to act that way!! You shouldn't get banned for a few speeding tickets but this is some major stuff!! I know I have stuck up for Pacman but he served his punishment and should be given ONE (1) more chance!! He blows it he is gone!!! It should be the same in all major sports!!!
