Default Carmelo Anthony Scores new Corvette for Birthday



Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks might have fallen way short in hopes of making a serious contention for an NBA Championship this year, but Anthony still wrapped the season on a high note.

The basketball player's wife, actress La La Anthony, recently gave the NBA standout a new black Corvette Stingray for his 30th birthday, which she shared on her Instagram page with more than 2 million followers.

"Now it appears Anthony might be parking his ‘Vette in either Los Angeles, Houston or Chicago with talks of him becoming a free agent. Either way, the NBA player will certainly be in good company as all three cities have a pretty big Corvette fan base."

I'd welcome him to the Lakers!! LOL

I doubt there is going to be a seat adjustment trick that allows him to fit in it...

His wife has great taste in cars, but in terms of relative earning power, that's like my wife buying me a nice watch for my birthday.

More like your wife buying you a cheap Timex for your birthday.

I'll bet he doesn't still have it in 6 months.

He's got the coin to hire someone to buff out all the scratches his wife's butt just put on the hood.

Default Too Tall!!!!!!

At 6'8" he will never fit....but he can afford to have a shop adapt the seating to get him in it! Nice shot, Carmelo!

Seriously, why does ANYONE care what an incredibly overpaid basketball player has or buys??

The average NBA player makes probably 10X what the average neurosurgeon does and their contribution to society is trivial compared to the surgeon. My opinion and will probably get flamed for it. Don
