OKC’s Anthony embraces supporting role heading into playoffs

Oklahoma City • Carmelo Anthony has been the No. 1 option for whatever team he has played on during most of his basketball career.

He knew that wasn't going to be the case when he arrived in Oklahoma City, though it's safe to say things haven't gone as he expected when he signed up to be part the league's next Big Three.

Playing alongside Russell Westbrook and Paul George, Anthony and the Thunder are headed to the playoffs. He is the Thunder's third-leading scorer, yet at times it feels like he is the fourth option behind center Steven Adams.
