Portland Trail Blazers forward Trevor Ariza joined former NBA players Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson on Knuckleheads podcast. Here is what Ariza had to say about his teammate Carmelo Anthony:

“He’s an unbelievable player, hall of fame player to me. He’s always been able to put the ball in a basket no matter who was in front of him. He always had my respect.

He’s an unbelievable smart person. He has a lot of intellect, that’s what I admire the most. I enjoy talking to people who got a lot of sense,” he explained.
