Carmelo Anthony feels he’s gone from New York to the U.S. Olympic Team again.
While Anthony has sustained only losing in New York the past four years, he won two Olympic gold medals as star for Team USA during his six-year, seven-month Knicks stint that ended one week ago.
Over the weekend, Anthony said he felt “born again’’ and compared being on Oklahoma City with playing for Team USA, with studs Russell Westbrook and Paul George on his side. Anthony won a Team USA-record three Olympic golds in total (2008, 2012, 2016).
The Melo-free Knicks open their preseason against the Nets on Tuesday, and Anthony’s first game in a Thunder uniform is the same evening.
