DirecTv is not stupid. They're gonna block those CHs during games (when the free preview of NBA LP is done or sooner).

You just had to burst my little bubble didn't you

I dunno, cuz the CHs I have are the actual channels, not the LP channels.........

just sayin. I will be peeved, howerever, if I don't at least have the local CSN, had to watch the damn Kings games at my friends house all last season

sooo dumb

Obvious move by the Blazers. Sucks for Oden, though.

Documentary Details Anthony's New York Roots

By:Alex Kennedy  Last Updated: 10/26/10 9:08 AM ET | 4640 times read

"I was born on May 29, 1984 in Brooklyn, New York," Carmelo Anthony says into the camera.

These are the first words uttered in the superstar's new documentary, "Carmelo's Way," that will be released on November 2, 2010. While much of the footage was filmed prior to 2008, the documentary still delves into Anthony's upbringing and details the forward's connection to New York, which helps explain why he has been linked to the Knicks since leaving the Denver Nuggets' three-year, $65 million contract extension on the table this past summer.

The movie is narrated by Anthony and features interviews, commentary and footage about his life and journey to the NBA. A considerable amount of time is spent talking about his workouts and career, but there are also many instances where Anthony talks in-depth about his hometown.

"I used to live in the Red Hook projects in Brooklyn," Anthony said with a smile. "It was a two or three room apartment but we had about eight people living in there."

The opportunity to play in New York is attractive to most players but Anthony's connection to the city is even deeper, which is why the Knicks are considered the frontrunner to sign him should he become a free agent next summer. The first time Anthony picked up a basketball, he was standing on a New York street.

"In New York, there's a basketball court at every corner. You walk outside and everybody's got a basketball. We had a court right outside in the middle of the projects. That's all we played. Basketball is all we really knew," Anthony said.

This is where he honed his skills, fell in love with the sport and played his first game.

"The first game I saw Melo play was when he was seven years old in Brooklyn, New York," said Carmelo's mother, Mary Anthony.

After eight years, his family left for Baltimore in search of a better life. Instead, things gradually got worse and it wasn't long before Anthony was missing New York. One day, the unhappy Anthony scribbled on his wall, "If I can survive this, I can survive anything."

Eventually, Anthony developed a love for Baltimore and was proud to call it home. But even as he rose to prominence in Maryland, the young phenom didn't forget his first home.

"They started calling me 'Little New York' and 'New York this' or 'New York that,'" Anthony said with a laugh.

He continued improving as a player and modeled his game after his favorite New York Knick.

"Bernard King was my favorite basketball player. Of course everyone liked Jordan, Magic, Bird and all of those guys, but Bernard King was the guy who I looked at and thought, 'Yo, he's the real deal.' Especially when he was in New York, I wanted to be Bernard King. I couldn't go out there saying, 'I want to be Pat Ewing' or 'I want to be John Starks.' I wanted to be Bernard King, that's who I wanted to be!" Anthony said with a laugh.
 
When the time came to choose a college, Anthony wanted to return to New York. He committed to Jim Boeheim and Syracuse University in the summer before his senior year even though the coach urged him to wait rather than rush through the recruiting process. Anthony didn't want to hear it and made his commitment official prior to his impressive senior year at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia.

"I always wanted to go to school in New York," Anthony explained. "I was a big Syracuse fan and that's when the Big East was the Big East. It was like, 'Oh @%**, Syracuse. I'm there.' That's all it took."

After famously winning the 2003 National Championship during his freshman season, many considered Anthony a lock to enter the NBA Draft and become a top three pick. But the decision wasn't that easy.

"Those were the best seven or eight months of my life," explained Anthony. "We were The Beatles up there."

He told Boeheim that he was staying but the coach told him he was satisfied with one championship and convinced his star player to enter his name in the 2003 NBA Draft. He was projected to be a top pick but, ironically, hated the thought of being drafted third overall by the Denver Nuggets.

"The Nuggets only won 17 games or something like that. I remember me saying, 'I hope Denver doesn't draft me. I hope Denver don't pick me.' At that time, Detroit had wanted me so everyone was thinking I was going to Detroit. I wanted to go to Detroit. I was like, 'Please, Denver, don't draft me! Please! Please!' Come to find out, they draft me. As I come out here, I'm like, 'I don't know nothing about Denver.' I tried to look on the internet and all I saw were mountains and I'm like, 'Oh @%**, I can't do this. Man, I can't do this,'" Anthony said.

Eventually, the city and situation grew on Carmelo and he learned to like Denver.

"Once I got out here, I saw the fans and I saw the city. They opened their arms out to me and embraced me as if I was one of their own. Once you get a whole city behind you like that, you can't beat that," Anthony said.

Since rising to superstardom with the Nuggets, Anthony hasn't forgotten about New York.

In 2009, the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center opened in Syracuse, New York. Anthony's older brother, Justice, and many of his close friends and business partners still live in New York. This past summer, he chose the city as the location to marry his longtime fiancé, LaLa Vazquez, who is also from Brooklyn.

For months now, Anthony has been connected to the Knicks. Many assumed it was because of the close proximity to Baltimore, chance to play with another superstar or one of the many other benefits that come from living and playing in New York. However, this documentary paints the picture of Anthony's past and relationship with his hometown of New York which suggests that this may have been twenty-six years in the making.

"Carmelo's Way" goes on sale one week from today and can be purchased here.

They blockin that @#$% out Rck2. 

You'll get the pregame, and the postgame shows, but live games, no way. 

Hell, couple years back LA was playin Sac on a Sunday night, and after Laker games on Sunday nights, they show old classics after the post games, so I'm lookin ahead, and I see that it's gonna be the Horry game 4 (sorry to mention that......not really) and I am HYPED cuz I did not have that on tape, I run and grab one, set up the ol VCR, wait for the game to come on, I'm pumped, gettin ready to start watchin........Black. 

Ain't a stoneface big enough for that moment.  So I get on the horn to start screamin at Directv, the NBA holds all rights to games, they can black out any game they want too, new or old.  In LA, they was watchin Robert with the dagger, in Portland, it was all dark. 

 

So Heat is right, the only game you will get would be your reginonal one, the others will black out til after the games.  Directv ain't dumb.

 I'd give anything to see Simmons spin that.  He would go back to 07 form when he was PRAYING for the Celts to get Oden. 

Portland still controls him as he's restricted, but either way, someone would take a chance on the guy.  Hell, send him to Phoenix and let their training staff have a chance with him.
