Carmelo Anthony Got Roasted By The Internet For His Postgame Outfit On Tuesday

The New York Knicks picked up an unlikely victory on Tuesday evening, overcoming a double-figure deficit in the second half to overtake the Indiana Pacers by a final score of 87-81. In that win, Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks in scoring with 22 points while playing a borderline reckless total of 41 minutes and, after the game, his choice of attire drew a great deal of attention due to its outlandish nature.

To be fair to Melo, the weather report for New York is ugly right now and there is nothing wrong with being prepared with appropriate, cozy clothing. Still, the internet took no prisoners … as you might imagine.


There were even Star Wars references that, frankly, were incredible.

Then, there was a certain resemblance to a video featuring Migos.

The notion that Anthony’s attire had a Russian influence was also discussed.

As the clock approached midnight on the east coast, the shots kept coming in Carmelo Anthony’s direction and those who make up the online NBA community won’t hesitate to drive a particular meme into the ground if given the opportunity. It should have been a nice, encouraging win for the Knicks on Tuesday but, in the end, we’ll all remember Anthony’s outfit and not much else.
