Carmelo Anthony let the media know in no uncertain terms that the advanced age of many Lakers veterans is not the storyline he cares about.
“I think just the concept and the seriousness behind taking care of yourself, like, we really understand what that means from a holistic standpoint — the mind, body and soul,” Anthony said. “We are there at that point of our career where we understand the importance of what it means to take care of your body. What it means to take care of your mind. And in this situation, experience comes into play.”“I like when people talk about the age. It gives a better story.
“I think timing is everything. I mean, for years, we’ve always laughed about it and spoke about it — what it would be like,” Anthony said. “We had a little bit of experience with the USA Basketball and playing together, but that’s totally different than a situation like this. But we’ve always talked about it, laughed and joked about it. But I thought and he thought at this moment now, everything comes back full circle for us. And I think the time is now for us to be on the same team.
He didn’t say what his role will be with the Lakers, but he learned a lot about coming off the bench for the first time in his illustrious career. “So, you go for 16, 17 years and you’re the guy on the team and you’re the star, and then all of a sudden somebody is like, ‘Listen, come off the bench.’ I had to swallow that ego,” Anthony said. “I had to swallow that pride. But I also had to use that ego and that pride to keep me on edge and keep me motivated. And I’ve accepted that. It played out well in Portland.
