Thanks for sharing that article.

While I knew about her ACL, I was not aware of her abdominal surgery.

I also did not know she was a car buff, but that's pretty cool.

I think Seimone is Anthony+. She plays defense and she knows when to shine and when to share. Melo knows what defense is and really likes to be shiny.

If by the "Seimone=Carmelo Anthony" comparison they're basing it solely on the ease with which they score, then I'm all for it. Otherwise, it's a terrible comparison based on style of play. Carmelo is a combo forward (3/4) who can excel in the paint. Seimone is a wing (2/3) who loves the perimeter.

To be fair, the only guard who scored more points in the paint than Augustus last season was her teammate...
