Carmelo Anthony on George Karl criticism: 'It's irrelevant to me'

Carmelo Anthony fielded questions about ex-coach George Karl's tell-all book "Furious George" and took the high road. It’s irrelevant to me at this point. Nothing disappoints me anymore,” he added. “I’m past being disappointed. I just hope he finds happiness in what he’ doing. His book…hopefully it will bring him happiness. Karl blasted Anthony in his new book, calling Anthony a "conundrum" and likening him, as well as teammates Kenyon Martin and J.R. Smith, to "spoiled brats." He really lit my fuse with his low demand of himself on defense. He had no commitment to the hard, dirty work of stopping the other guy. My ideal — probably every coach’s ideal — is when your best player is also your leader. But since Carmelo only played hard on one side of the ball, he made it plain he couldn’t lead the Nuggets, even though he said he wanted to. He went into personal issues, attacking Anthony and Martin for not having a father in their lives. Kenyon and Carmelo carried two big burdens: all that money and no father to show them how to act like a man, Anthony played six seasons for Karl on the Denver Nuggets and went to the playoffs seven times.
