Carmelo Anthony Defends Lala to NBA Press, “This is MY career.”

When questioned about his decision to not sign his 3 year contract to stay with the Denver Nuggets, Carmelo Anthony took the opportunity to defend (to the media) that (his wife) Lala was not the reason that he may not stay in Denver.

“Y’all put this in bold words, La La has nothing to do with anything. Whatever is my decision, she is going to support me. She has nothing to do with me staying or leaving. Nothing. So please keep her out of it. Thank you. People have to write about something and [they] come up with, ‘She don’t want to be here.’ She has nothing to do with that. This is my career. This is my decision. Of course, I got to consult her with everything. It wasn’t one conversation I had with her where she said, ‘Let’s get out of Denver.’ It’s normal, you got to consult with your family about decisions like that. That’s all she has been doing. She hasn’t had any say-so what I should do or where I should go.”

Okay.
