Today I heard on Fox Sports Radio that Carmelo Anthony apologized to his teammates and fans for refusing to play the last 6 mins of the game vs the Pistons because he was angry that teammates questioned his shot frequency. If that had been Allen Iverson, Rasheed Wallace or any other NBA "bad guy" who gave up on his team with 6 mins to go, it would have been all over the place. Why is no one talking about Melo doing the same?
Heres a snip of the article from the Denver Post...

MINNEAPOLIS - The day after refusing to play in the final stretch of a loss Friday night at Detroit, Nuggets rookie forward Carmelo Anthony apologized to his team.
Twice Friday night Anthony felt his teammates challenged his shot selection. After the second challenge Anthony said he would not go back into the game after a timeout with 6:16 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Nuggets trailing 83-68. The Pistons went on to win 94-75.
The Nuggets' leading scorer apologized Saturday during a film session at the team hotel, met privately with some teammates and then answered questions about the incident with The Denver Post.
"I apologized for quitting," said Anthony after Saturday's 45-minute practice at the Target Center, where the Nuggets play Minnesota today. "That's not me. That's not me. ... I never did that a day in my life."
