LOS ANGELES -- With Carmelo Anthony's solid start to his Lakers tenure continuing Sunday -- his game-high 23 points helped lift Los Angeles to a 95-85 win over the Houston Rockets -- the 19-year veteran wanted to clear something up about his reputation.
"I think people don't really understand me," Anthony said. "I think there's a misconception out there about me and not being able to adapt to situations. But I'm easily adaptable, man, to any situation."
After scoring 20 points or more per game for his first 15 seasons in the league in Denver and New York, having the offense run through him and commanding star treatment from both franchise, his last handful of years in the league have been a mixed bag.
