There is one Jackson who is a fan of Carmelo Anthony

By Fred Kerber

Another Carmelo Anthony supporter voiced his opinion Saturday.

Former Knick and TV color analyst Mark Jackson threw his support behind Anthony, saying the oft-maligned forward, who has been the subject of numerous trade rumor reports, has too long been on a talent island with the Knicks.

“It’s not just him. You don’t win with just one person. He’s a great player, a future Hall of Famer. There’s no question,” said Jackson, at the Garden to broadcast the Knicks-Cavaliers game and to be honored by his old team as part of the 1988-89 “Bomb Squad” reunion.
