If A Kid Running Onto The Court To Hug Carmelo Anthony Didn't Make You Smile Then You Have No Soul3/29/2016 You know what's funny? As badly as this kid "needed" to get a hug from his favorite player, his favorite player needed that hug just as badly. This outgoing little dude just provided a public service. Just take a look at that face. Yes, I am talking about Carmelo Anthony's. He hasn't felt that type of appreciation all year. The Knicks stink (again), and the only praise that New Yorkers are willing to give is to a 7'3 rookie from Latvia. I'm not saying that Carmelo Anthony deserves to have his ego stroked. However, he's still one of the better scorers in the NBA and he gets treated like a goddamn pariah by his own fans. Some of that is his own doing. Some of that is his contract's doing. Some of that is the doing of piss poor asset management. That doesn't change the fact that Carmelo Anthony has been given very few opportunities to smile this season. So I am glad that this kid took his dreams into his own hands and ran out onto the floor to embrace his "hero". Not only it was a pretty cool moment for anyone that has a warm beating heart in their chest, but because it reminded an oft-criticized NBA superstar exactly how blessed he is to play basketball for a living. Even if the city he does it for collectively hates his guts.
