Carmelo Anthony Gets DUI, Steers Team In The Right Direction

Carmelo Anthony took a long hard look at the playoff picture for the Denver Nuggets after last night’s victory against Houston–a result that left them one win away from the playoffs–and was sent into a celebratory frenzy. The result from that was a DUI early this morning.

“Carmelo was pulled over late Sunday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol,” Anthony’s attorney, Dan Recht, said in a statement. “He cooperated by consenting to a blood test, the results of which will not be available for approximately two weeks. There was no accident and no one was hurt.
“Like anyone in a similar situation, Carmelo has to wait for the results of the blood test. He regrets putting himself in this situation.

“In the meantime, Carmelo will try to stay focused on his family and his team. Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them.”

Thankfully he didn’t kill anyone, but he surely murdered his endorsement deals, some of could easily pay for a taxicab, dontcha think?
