Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony is quite pumped up to be back in the NBA after an almost one-year hiatus.
His feverish enthusiasm showed in an expletive manner in the Blazers’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum on Thursday.
Melo secured a good box out against reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and corralled a strong defensive rebound.
The 10-time NBA All-Star yelled “I got it, get the fuck outta here” as he zipped a pass to Rodney Hood. Anthony then trailed the play and got the ball back at the top of the key.
Without hesitation, he fired and drained catch-and-shoot trey over Giannis at the 7:29 mark of the third, cutting the home team’s lead to single digits.
Anthony scored 10 points and grabbed four rebounds in 24 minutes during his Portland debut on Tuesday.
