Carmelo Anythony Says Basketball 'Fun Again' After Accepting New Role With Thunder

Carmelo Anthony says he's enjoying the game of basketball again after accepting his role as a complimentary scorer in Oklahoma City.

The 10-time All-Star struggled to find his rhythm on offense beside new teammates Paul George and Russell Westbrook over the first couple months of the season. This was evident as the Thunder stumbled out of the gate to an 8-12 record through the end of November.

But as the new trio of Westbrook, George and Anthony became familiar with each other, it's translated to success on the court. Oklahoma City has gone 17-8 since Dec. 1.
