"As for Anthony, it's almost pathetic how much squealing praise he gets for playing passable defense and passing the ball. How many breathless stories do we have to read about how this newly matured Melo trusts his teammates? Did anyone not realize that passing and defense were good things? Did anyone watch the 2012-13 Knicks? It has been obvious for years that Anthony is a gifted passer -- and that his teams find new harmony when he indulges in that gift."
