Carmelo Anthony appeared on Thursday night’s edition of "The Daily Show," where host Trevor Noah turned the conversation to the star basketball player’s social activism. Anthony said he decided to make his voice heard after violence affected his hometown of Baltimore.
Referring to this year’s ESPY Awards show, when Anthony, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade made a plea for peace, Noah asked his guest, "You guys stood together and you took a stand, and that's a scary place to be. And as a sportsman, you stood up and said, 'Hey, with regards to violence, with regards to police shootings, with regards to everything that's going in this country, we can do more.
