For the fifth time since being drafted by the Denver Nuggets, former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony will return to the Carrier Dome as an NBA player. It is yet to be determined as to what image damaging decisions the young star will make on his return to central New York. Chris Cordes, one of the men responsible for the Nuggets return to Syracuse, tells us all the reasons that we should be excited about seeing the Nuggets take on the Phoenix Suns,“These are the two highest scoring teams in the NBA, and in addition to Carmelo, who will forever maintain folk-hero status here, and Shaq, who is an iconic NBA figure, these rosters are peppered with current and former All-Stars and League MVPs."
What Chris fails to add is that not everyone plays in exhibition games. Frankly, Shaq hardly plays at all until the playoffs. He typically stands around and cleans up "trash" for 25 minutes. Buuuuttt, let's not all pile on the SU Athletics Department. They are bringing our "son" back again. And despite all of his blemishes and transgressions, we still love the guy. It would be nice, though, if I didn't have to keep defending him against these stupid accusations. At the very least, he needs to start breaking the law around some gray areas. I can't make excuses for DUI's and "Stop Snitchin'" videos. I can, however, look past illegitimate children.
