We all know that Portland Trail Blazers star Carmelo Anthony is used to all the media attention. The 36-year-old has been in the NBA for almost two decades now and answering hard-hitting questions in front of the camera has been almost second nature.
Earlier this week, Carmelo Anthony was put on the spot once again. This time, it was a 9-year-old reporter named Jazzy. And, as always, Melo came up clutch and showed zero pressure with Jazzy's thorough cross-examination.
The TikTok personality asked Carmelo Anthony what he would do if he could change one thing in the world. Anthony's response was direct and rather profound.
“Our country,” Anthony confidently exclaimed (via iamjazzysworldtv).

Melo is keeping it 100. And, Carmelo Anthony didn't stop there. The 10-time All-Star went on to dish some important advice to the youth and all of Jazzy's 89,000 TikTok followers.
“Stay in school, stay positive,” Carmelo Anthony added. “Listen, learn and don't be afraid to ask questions.”
That's as wholesome as it gets. Melo's induction to the TikTok universe was short but and sweet. Time and time again, Carmelo Anthony has proven that he's been able to use his platform and voice for the better and, now that he's gained a new and much younger audience, the Blazers forward is trying to spark some inspiration.
On the court, Carmelo Anthony's presence has been definitely been a source of inspiration for his team. The 18-year vet has been key for the Blazers this season and his leadership has been one of the biggest reasons why they currently find themselves in the middle of the pack in the Western Conference playoff picture.
