It was one heck of a performance that Carmelo Anthony did in his debut with the New York Knicks. The way he immediately jive to the system of Knicks head coach Mike D’Antoni in his very first outing, was something spectacular to say the least. With the help of his former Denver Nuggets teammate Chauncey Billups, Anthony erupted for 27 big points and nailed down a crucial jumper in the dying seconds to help Amare Stoudemire and the Knicks beat the visiting Milwaukee Bucks, 114-108. With a big Madison Square Garden crowd chanting “Melo! Melo!” from time to time, Anthony played inspired ball throughout the game. He was clearly amused by the atmosphere and says it brings out the energy in his game, according to Yahoo! Sports.
“I got a lot of texts and calls, just from the standpoint of they haven’t seen the Garden like that in a long, long time. And so for these fans to just be yelling my name, chanting my name, chanting Chauncey’s name, yelling MVP for Amare, you can just feel the energy in the building.”
