Carmelo Anthony joined the Houston Rockets a few weeks ago and his team-mate and friend, Chris Paul, is thrilled he will have the opportunity to play alongside the former Oklahoma City Thunder forward.

“Melo, I’m excited about it. That’s my brother. I’m not only happy for our team, but I’m happy for him,” CP3 said, per Marc Berman.

“When you know a guy that well you’re able to push each other and motivate each other and that we both have a common goal, wanting to win championship,” Paul added.
