Carmelo Anthony made an interesting statement regarding his time with the Houston Rockets.
The multiple time All-Star said he felt like an ‘outcast’ when he played for Houston.
“I get to Houston and when I get to Houston, now I really feel like an outcast. But Because I got CP there, PJ (PJ Tucker) and James, we’re gonna work this out. I am the piece that that (Rockets) team needs.
But that wasn’t their thinking. They wanted me to come in and be a spot-up, corner shooter. Run to the corner, spot-up and that’s it and it didn’t work at all.
I used to tell them like look, ‘yo throw me a bone. Like on a switch, just throw it in there.’ I need that feel, I need that touch. You know, I’m a rhythm player. First of all, I can’t come off the bench and then shoot three 3s in a row. I just can’t do that (with the Rockets),” Anthony said during his appearance on JJ Redick’s podcast.
Anthony played just 10 games with Houston during the 2018/19 season and then parted ways with the team.
