QUOTES BY Carmelo Anthony


"When you've never had something, you want it worse than anything."

"I know there's a lot of pressure, but I'm just going to go out and play my game."

"It's easier for me to let the game just come to me."

"Look, I won in high school, I won a national championship in college, I want to win one in the NBA. But winning a gold medal, I don't think anything can top that."

"I'm laid back, I take my time, get the job done. Lebron is high flying, dunking, passing the ball well. He's getting the job done, too. But we're different."

"I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on."

"I think I am a smarter player now."

"I'm me. I'm just out there being myself. I like having fun. But at the same time, I bring everybody together. So I'm really -- or I try to be -- like the glue of the team."
