The Curious Case of Carmelo

George Karl coached 10-time NBA All Star Carmelo Anthony for six years with the Denver Nuggets - from early 2005 to early 2011. It was the start of Carmelo's pro career and no single person has coached him longer. While Coach applauds Carmelo's scoring talent, end-of-game performances and offensive skill, he remains critical of his commitment to a team game and all around play. Nearly a decade after his trade demand that sent Carmelo to the New York Knicks, it's a curious time to consider the case of Carmelo Anthony with George Karl.
