It appears apologies are in order to former Oklahoma City forward, Carmelo Anthony.
Or at least, social media seems to think so.
Anthony was signed by the Portland Trail Blazers on November 19 of this year, his return to the league one of the bigger stories in the NBA so far this season.
The 35-year-old veteran had been out of basketball since being cut by the Houston Rockets in November 2018, leading many to believe that his professional career was coming to, or had already come to, an end.
But Melo’s resurgence over the last several weeks has had many naysayers changing their tune. So much so, that an unofficial apology note has popped up on social media.
While made in jest, some of the points the apology note makes are valid, Mercury being in retrograde notwithstanding.
As pointed out by ClutchPoints, Melo’s return “got off to a slightly rocky start, but he has since rebounded in spectacular fashion.”
Against his former teammates in Oklahoma City, Melo scored 19 points in 29 minutes, going 9-of-11 from the field in the Trail Blazer’s 136-119 win over the Thunder.
OKC has two more games during the regular season against Carmelo Anthony and the Trail Blazers, the next coming in Portland on December 8. The two teams will meet for the final time during 2019-20 on Saturday, Jan. 18.
