30 years-old and playing for a lottery-bound team on a balky left knee, Carmelo Anthony can still get up. Watch the New York Knicks’ superstar rise to catch and finish a lob with a one-handed alley-oop jam on Wes Johnson during his team’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Great to see. These moments have been all too fleeting from ‘Melo this season.
In fact, that can be said for his entire performance versus LA. Anthony has 31 points and eight rebounds on 13-of-25 shooting, clearly relishing the Sunday stage. The Knicks raced out to an early double-digit lead as a result of his energetic play and haven’t let up since, currently pacing Lakers by 19 with several minutes remaining in the game.
