The Oklahoma City Thunder picked up arguably their most impressive win of the young season as they defeated the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led Milwaukee Bucks by 19 points on the road. To celebrate the big win, Carmelo Anthony decided to chow down on the team plane with a ton of food while wearing his now-trademarked hoodie.

Anthony finished with 17 points and eight rebounds in just 29 minutes against the Bucks, the second game in a row he’s played below 30 minutes thanks to a Thunder blowout. However, it sure seems he worked up quite an appetite after that Bucks game.
To be fair to Melo, though, he did rack up eight rebounds during the game, his second-highest rebounding total thus far this season. Come to think of it, maybe eating a lot of food and bulking up a bit more is Melo’s plan for getting more rebounds. Even with his eight-rebound night, he’s still averaging just 4.4 boards on the season, which would be a new career low.
Apart from his declining rebounding totals, though, Anthony is doing his fair share of the work at Oklahoma City. He’s averaging 23 points in 33.4 minutes, both of which currently lead the team over reigning MVP Russell Westbrook. So in a sense, Hoodie Melo has earned the right to enjoy all the fine food he wants to eat.
