Carmelo Anthony Spending Time In Brazilian Favelas

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.
