Former New York Knicks assistant coach Jerry Dunn says that the team¡¯s star forward, Carmelo Anthony, is ¡°very misunderstood¡± by the public.
Currently in Tokyo as a special adviser during the Japan women¡¯s national team¡¯s ongoing training camp, Dunn insisted that Anthony, one of the biggest names mentioned in this summer¡¯s NBA trade talks, is a much better player on and off the floor than he is given credit for.
¡°He is a great player,¡± said Dunn, the head coach for the Tuskegee (Alabama) University men¡¯s basketball team, at the National Training Center in Tokyo on Tuesday. ¡°He¡¯s skilled, can play four positions on the floor, and really he¡¯s a better defensive player than most people think.¡±
