According to his former teammate and current ESPN analyst Chauncey Billups, New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony may not be the "vocal" leader the team needs in the locker room to turn the ship around.
As Billups sees it, Melo is the type to lead by example and not by making speeches.
Via Ian Begley of ESPN New York:
Melo’s a good friend of mine, one of the best players I ever played with, but he’s not the guy who’s going to stand up in the locker room and give this rah-rah speech and get the team to rally. That’s not who he is.
One thing he is, he’s going to come to play every single night, he’s going to practice every single day. He is who he is, He’s not that guy [who leads vocally]. But for who he is, he’s great. You’ve got to find another guy to make speeches, and another guy to do most of the leading. [Carmelo’s] going to most of the time lead by example. He’s not going to be vocal, he’s not going to rock the boat.
