I'm a Syracuse basketball fan and have loved Carmelo Anthony as a basketball player every since his freshmen year at the school. Forget the fact that he showed up in "Stop Snitchin", a DVD aimed at police informants who rat out the criminal element. I let that slide. This guy just sucker punched a fellow basketball player, and promptly backpedalled himself to safety. Whether it was a sucker punch or not is debateable, but you can't say that Collins could be expecting a punch at that point of the melee. If he so strongly felt the need to defend his teammate, sure, go ahead and throw the punch. If you REALLY need to throw it, go for it and face the consequences. But DO NOT throw that bunch and run away like a little b*tch. I have now lost all respect for the guy.

With Kobe being a possible raplst, Dwyane Wade and 'Melo were the brightest stars in the NBA's future. Now Wade stands alone as the main star that kids can look up to in the NBA.
