Carmelo Anthony has been through the process of going from being a star to more of a role player before, so here's what he had to say about Russell Westbrook being benched to close out last night's game: lakersnation.com/lakers-news-ca…
@LakersNation It’s an insult to Russ to insinuate he is in the same boat with Melo. Melo can’t play back to backs without needing a wheel chair. Russ is clumsy, makes poor decisions but he is helpful in multiple ways and does more than Melo.
