10 most annoying NBA players and personalities

Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks

Does Carmelo want to be with the Knicks? Does he want to go to Cleveland to play with LeBron, or look for a fresh start somewhere else?

The answers to those questions seem to change on a daily basis. Since the trade deadline has come and gone, the trade talks are on something of a break, but it’s nothing more. Those talks will certainly resume when the season ends.

Now, we could almost overlook these talks. After all, Carmelo plays in New York, where things tend to get embellished. Additionally, a lot of the blame falls at the feet of Phil Jackson.

The problem is that drama has followed Anthony throughout his career. He pouted his way out of Denver. He’s been consistently unable to get along with coaches. If it happens a few times, we can chalk it up to being young, or the other people in the conflict. But these problems have followed Carmelo for a career that’s now 14 years old.

He shoulders much of that responsibility. It’s an awful lot of trouble for a guy who’s never won or even appeared in an NBA Finals and has only made one conference finals.
