CHICAGO – Carmelo Anthony said not to read any discontent into an Instagram post containing ominous-seeming lyrics from a song by the rapper Jeezy.
The Knicks are off to a poor start at 1-3, and the timing Thursday seemed meaningful.
“His album just came out,’’ Anthony said at United Center during the Friday morning shootaround before the club faced the Bulls. “Please don’t. It’s too early for that. I love the game. Please don’t dissect that. Please don’t. It’s too early for that.’’
The quote is from a speech at the end of the track “Just Win” on an album released in 2015; Jeezy released a new album last week.
