Got my catalog in the mail today....they had a section for FIBA swingman jerseys and shorts....they had Lebron/Kobe - USA, Dirk - Germany, Tony Parker - France, and this:

I looked at this in bewilderment for a good couple of seconds...I was really perplexed.  Only Anthony #15 I knew of was Melo....I thought it was a misprint or something. 

Nope...no misprint.

Maybe he wears it in a chance that Carmelo's talents will pass on to him word to Like Mike.

Meh, it is the number he wears, and he's the only NBA/Nike sponsored player on the team.

Nothing deceiving in the catalog, in my opinion, but go to Eastbay and search "Melo" and see what pops up.

The Canada jersey is for Joel Anthony (of the Miami Heat - he was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada).

I don't see what the issue is. If the man wants to wear #15, so what that's his decision. How many people wear/wore 23 b/c of Mike???

- i seen it too last night, 8 seconds later it was out of my mind.
 
- and to be honest, i dont think someone is THAT dumb to be able to put #15 with Carmelo and NOT put together that he doesnt play for Canada. it'd be different if the jersey said 'Carmelo Anthony'.......
