NEW YORK –- Carmelo Anthony helped deliver a Christmas Day miracle and it had nothing to do with the New York Knicks playing the Boston Celtics.
The Knicks' All-Star forward -- with help from his Carmelo Anthony Foundation, the Garden of Dreams Foundation and Kia –- gave a new car to Jarrell Lara and his family hours before Sunday's loss to the Celtics, 119-114, at Madison Square Garden.
As Anthony presented the stunned family the keys to their new car, Anne Lara, Jarrell's mother, couldn't contain her emotions and began crying, her knees buckling as Anthony hugged the entire family and wished them a Merry Christmas.
