Carmelo Anthony Connects With OKC Family

A little over a month ago, the clamoring Thunder faithful made sure Carmelo Anthony experienced a big, warm welcome when he landed at the Will Rogers World Airport in OKC.

So after learning about a local family in need, Anthony took his first opportunity to don the blue Thunder Care shirt over his hoodie and made sure he returned the love back.

On Thursday afternoon, the 6-foot-8 forward landed a new eager sidekick in 8-year-old Rene Dominguez Jr. Anthony spent time with the bespectacled boy, who goes by Junior, along with his mother Dian Dominguez and his two sisters in tow Anahi Garcia, 15 and Izabella Dominguez, 6, to stock up on groceries thanks to Homeland.
