Carmelo Anthony Shoots Down Idea He Would Come off Bench: 'Out of the Question'

Carmelo Anthony is not keen on the idea of being a sixth man next season.

"I'm not sacrificing no bench role," Anthony told reporters Saturday after the Oklahoma City Thunder were eliminated from the postseason, according to ESPN.com's Royce Young. "So that's out of the question."

"I think everybody knows I've sacrificed damn near everything and was willing to sacrifice nearly everything for this situation to work out," he said, per The Oklahoman's Erik Horne.
