In part 1 of this latest incarnation of "The Phil Files", Phil Jackson compared Carmelo Anthony's leadership style to understated, lead-by-example legends like Willis Reed and Lou Amundson: "Carmelo isn't going to yell or throw chairs. His style is much more subtle."
Oh yeah, Phil? Well if Melo's leadership style doesn't involve yelling, then how do you explain this first-quarter possession in Team USA's big win over China?
Would DeAndre Jordan have even known to "go get that shit" if Melo hadn't told him? Melo struggled with his shot in Team USA's 106-57 win over China, hitting just 2 of 9 from the field, but he pulled down a team-high 8 rebounds and dished out 5 assists.
