The New York Knicks have gotten off to a miserable 7-36 start to the season, and fans have started to root for the team to tank and lose games in an effort to get the best draft pick possible. However, All-Star Carmelo Anthony warned against that mentality:
"I don't know how to have that mindset," Anthony said. "Having that mindset as a basketball player, as a competitor, it's just hard to do unless you don't care about the game, what happens and your performance. To say that we're going to go out there and we want to lose a basketball game, I think that's a bad mentality to have."
Anthony is averaging 24 points and 6.7 rebounds per game this season. He has missed some games with knee soreness, and could sit out the remainder of the season if he decides to have surgery.
