Carmelo Anthony talks how the NBA has changed since he joined Portland Trail Blazers
In an Instagram Live interview with Sage Steele, Trail Blazers star Carmelo Anthony spoke about the difference in attitude he had when he switched Houston for Portland. Melo was quoted as saying "Well, I think mentally, mentally for me the game has changed. Because I was in Houston under a different mentality. So to be able to step away from the game and see it from a bird's-eye view, that changed. You got one year, people don't understand how much goes on within one year. I mean, study and preparation, team, ups and downs, all of that stuff comes into play."
