Over the past year or so, New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony has pulled back the proverbial curtain. He’s welcomed fans into his life with a remarkable VICE Sports series titled, “Stay Me7o.”
Though it’s unclear whether or not his latest escapade was filmed, he made a remarkable trip into the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Through the American media, the favelas have become something a tool to incite fear in the masses. The stories have painted the picture of a community of criminals that tourists dare not enter.
A true man of the people, Anthony took time between games to immerse himself in the culture of the Brazilian favelas.
