So here goes my first time in the blog world. This will be a spot for me to give it to you straight from the source. Nothing's off the table. I'll cover the Nuggets, the USA team, life in Denver, what's up in Baltimore, my record label KrossOver, whatever comes to mind. I'll start by catching you up on my summer and my outlook of this upcoming season. I'll start with the annual H.O.O.D. Movement 3 on 3 tournament. It really was an exciting time for everyone who attended the event. 106th & Park host Rosci was there, and Big Tigger came through to contribute a little laughter to the Movement. The teamwork of everyone involved in helping to teach the youth to control their own destiny taught me something. This helped me to gear up for a tremendous summer. Between the love of my family in Bmore and the ovations at Allen Iverson's softball game, it was a little tough to leave for training. The FIBA games were filled with incredible energy, from the die-hard fans to the unforgettable plays and chemistry. With our hard work and chemistry, team USA was able to defend our home court, capturing the gold medal. Yes I did say GOLD. We did all of this without my boy Dwade, who will be back next summer. You read it here first: we are going to take care of business next year in Beijing. All of this made up or rather added to the new and resurgent Melo.
Before kickin into gear of training camp, I couldn't just leave the love of the fans, and with Yao and Nash doing their charity game it was only fitting that I attend the affair in China. One of my major thrills was visiting the Great Wall of China. 3 letters: WOW!! China is an incredible place and I can't wait to get back there next summer. I felt proud to represent not just America, but people across the world who support me. I appreciate the love. As for training camp, it's back to work, see this is where the journey begins, and with a full roster I'm strapping on the hard helmet and expect the rest of my family to do so, see we will train, fight, lose and win, together. God willing we stay healthy, in the meaning of "The Movement" (we are holding our own destiny). Stay tuned. For now go Rockies! And remember: Bmore!
