Dear Carmelo

Dear Carmelo Anthony,

I am not even sure why I am writing you this letter today. I almost just feel like ranting at you for a while, and may even slip in a couple of reasons to stay. Who knows?

I’ll start by addressing my immense amount of frustration I feel towards you right now. I have been a Nuggets fan for as long as I can remember, and you becoming a part of our team was the best thing that has happened to Denver since the Rockies were founded in ’93. You put us on the map, and now you don’t have the guts to finish what you started? Sure, I thought Cleveland fans were out of line burning LeBron’s jersey. Sure I don’t think Denver is everybody’s dream city. But Melo, we made you who you are today. Do you often forget how good it feels to have 19,000 passionate fans screaming at the top of their lungs? Denver is perfect for you.

Well, if I can’t convince you that Denver is the best city in America, I can convince you why the other cities just aren’t for you.

New York: We all love broadway, late nights, and big buildings. However, don’t forget the air that smells like warm exhaust. That all the people love ecstasy more than their own families, and that their average attendance was 11,000 last season. BOOM.

Chicago: If you go to Chicago you will always be known as the next Denver superstar to leave the town who loves them because of selfish greed. Plus it’s windy. Real windy. And Derek Rose and the boys couldn’t even convince LeBron to play for them Sure, you’re not LeBron, you’re better. Like I always say, everything is better in Denver. And everything blows like the wind in Chicago.

New Jersey: They won 12 games last season. Enough said.

Los Angeles: There are so many positives about the California environment. But don’t forget, it’s the Clippers who want you. You will always be known as the “Other LA team’s best player.” Is that what you want. A second- tier job.

So Carmelo, wake up. We love you here more than you know. I would hate to see you leave the city that loves you.

Sincerely,
