Carmelo Anthony on the famous 'Banana Boat' picture: 'Everybody thinks that I'm in the picture with LeBron, CP3 and D-Wade'
Carmelo Anthony on the banana boat picture: ‘I see the yellow boat, I see that and I’m driving to the book because I’m going to take my luggage. I need a glass of champagne, I’ve been traveling for a long time. Then I see them and they’re like ‘Yo! Yo! Come on! I look and I say ‘No, I’m going to the boat, man’. So in the picture, everybody thinks that I’m on the boat! I’m not on the boat! It’s Bron, CP, D-Wade and Gab. (…) So I went to the boat and they pulled up on the banana boat and they like ‘Yo! Come on”, and I say ‘There’s no way I’m getting on that with y’all. If they catch a picture (of them on the banana boat), this is crazy! Paul George: ‘I don’t know why I pictured you on the boat. Carmelo Anthony: Because you wanted to picture me on the boat! You wanted to see me on there with them because you wanted to pop sh*t to me, that’s why. I mean, it’s cool you’re with your kids… I had to skip that one, even now with my kids I say ‘Baby, I can’t’.

More on this storyline
Carmelo Anthony: “I’m over here like, whatever y’all going to do, y’all going to do. So I get the call and they say, yo, it’s a lockout coming. Yo, we taking a three-year deal. Right? So let me think about that. Call my agent at the time, which was, I think I was with Bill Duffy at the time and Calvin Andrews, and I’m like, three-year deal? Yo bro, it’s no conversation. I’m staying. I’m taking the 85 million for five years. I’m staying in Denver. I’m happy.” -via YouTube / July 25, 2024
Carmelo Anthony: “I’m happy. I’m winning. I’m in Denver. We building something, right? We got new powder blue uniforms. Like we popping out there, right? So I don’t want to leave this to go do something that I might regret later down the line. And also at that time, I wasn’t ready to go partner and team up with nobody because I was building my own thing in Denver. So to leave my own thing and go team up with somebody, it probably wouldn’t have worked because we were all young and we all going down our own paths.” -via YouTube / July 25, 2024
Carmelo Anthony: “Imagine me at 23 years old, 24 years old being the fourth option on the team when I’m leading my team every single year. Like I’m finding my way in this league, right? And you want me to leave that and go be a fourth option? Yeah, I don’t know mentally how I was going to be ready for that. Exactly. It ain’t got nothing to do with money. Mentally, I don’t know how I was going to do that. I wouldn’t. I’d had a different role. I wouldn’t, you know, I had to figure out my role on that team.” -via YouTube / July 25, 2024
