Fans have clearly moved on as well. The former Nuggets superstar is expected to be booed vehemently when he makes his return to Denver on Wednesday night.
At least one member of the Nuggets organization still gives Anthony is due. Coach George Karl remains supportive of Anthony, even saying the team should one day retire Anthony’s No. 15 jersey.
“I would probably say yes,” Karl told The Denver Post. “My gut feeling is, I don’t know if you want to do it at a time when the fans are kind of angry and frustrated, and probably some fans are anti-Melo, but in time I would vote ‘definitely, yes.’ What he did for this franchise, turning it around, he has to be one of the two or three best players in Nuggets history, in my opin...

The good newsm is that it isn’t as bad as Amare’s knees. Melo is just going to have to fight through it. If the Knicks want to get out of the 1st round of the playoffs, for the first time since Hammer was hot, they are going to need Melo playing at a high level.
