Carmelo Anthony Mug ShotCarmelo Anthony makes $13,762,775 this year for playing basketball. And that doesn't include endorsements. Early Monday morning Carmelo Anthony was arrested on charges of drunk driving, something we have little sympathy for.
If we had $13,762,775 in the bank we would hire someone to follow us around with a baseball bat and smack us upside the head before we do something really stupid like drunk driving or signing an extension with the Nuggets.
It's not like Carmelo couldn't afford a taxi or even a damn limo to stand by outside the bar to ride his drunk ass home. That's why Carmelo is our Role Model of the Week.
NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony was arrested early Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, hours after his worst game of the season. The Denver Nuggets forward was arrested on Interstate 25, police said. He was alone in the car and pulled over for weaving and not dimming his lights.
Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests. He was charged with DUI, then taken to police headquarters before being released to a "sober responsible party," Hahn said. Anthony is due in court May 14.
Mark Warkentien, the Nuggets' vice president of basketball operations, said the team was aware of the situation but declined comment. The Nuggets did not practice Monday and Anthony wasn't available. He's expected at practice Tuesday.
Anthony's attorney, Dan Recht, said his client consented to a blood test, but results won't be available for about two weeks.
"Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them," Recht said. (source)
