[Video] Carmelo Anthony Pokes Fun at Trolls and Critics in New Foot Locker Commercial

melo_footlocker_weekofgreatness

Since coming to New York, the scrutiny on Carmelo Anthony has been high. And with New York not making the playoffs the last several years, some have come to view the perennial all-star as “overrated” and not even a Top 20 player in the league.

Foot Locker brilliantly captured that sentiment while giving Melo the chance to poke back with their “Week of Greatness” commercial series. Two fans attempt to belittle Melo’s accomplished career, but he quiets them with one simple question.


Fun aside, this is a make or break seventh year for Melo in New York. With future franchise player Kristaps Porzingis in his second year and the acquisition of Derrick Rose, a losing record and missing the playoffs for a fourth consecutive year will have fans and media alike calling for Melo’s head. The tepid 5-7 Knicks record and Anthony’s own recent haphazard play (21 points on 42% shooting, 28% from three), have not helped matters.

Nonetheless, we’re not even a full month into the season. Carmelo Anthony has more than enough time to make his real-life detractors eat their words just like this commercial.

You know nothing, Carmelo Anthony –Ygritte

Melo_GOT

I now bring before you Lord Carmelo Anthony of House Knickerbocker! As if the anticipation for season 3 of the critically-acclaimed hit series Game of Thrones isn’t high enough, HBO has linked up with the NBA for some cross-promotion. If you get a chance to check out the Youtube comments, you’ll see there’s a bunch of irate Game of Thrones purists (read — NERDS), who are highly upset at seeing the series “sullied” (wink wink to Daenerys’ special soldiers) by Melo’s appearance. Well, if you’re a Game of Thrones AND Knicks nerd like myself, you love this.

Game of Thrones has its season three premiere on March 31.

I’m sure every Knicks fan is willing to have a little more fun at Brooklyn’s expense. This new “BIG” commercial features what is by far the best Felton-Chandler alley oop this season — it just happened to come last night on Deron Williams and Brook Lopez. Remember your place, little brothers.

Foot Locker’s new Carmelo Anthony commercial shows just how much the Knicks star loves the game. Turns out that Melo’s competitive drive doesn’t simmer down even with playing a bunch of 8 year olds. Gives a whole new meaning to his brand of “bully ball.”
