Knicks Legend Patrick Ewing recently shared his thoughts on the play of Carmelo Anthony thus far this season.  Anthony has been mentioned as an early MVP candidate which is something that Ewing never won but Ewing has seemingly embraced the excitement that Anthony has given Madison Square Garden.

“Carmelo is playing so well now,’’ Ewing said. “You guys in the media gave him all that grief for not passing the ball. He’s passing it. He’s moving it. But when we were in Orlando (on Stan Van Gundy’s coaching staff), we saw that he gave up the ball......He’s leading now and I feel like the Olympics helped him as a leader...It helped me when I played in the Olympics. I felt like I came back a much better leader.  We all work hard, all players do,’’ he said. “But when you’re around all those players, in that setting, and you see what kind of leaders they are, it helps you become more mature and a better leader.’’
