Lance Thomas is new to the Knicks, so the refs are still trying to learn how to screw him over.
But calling him for… SOMETHING… on this play, wouldn’t have been too hard.
You have the double dribble at the beginning, the fact that he probably stepped out of bounds…
And, um, traveling is still illegal right?
The ends justify the means, though:
One year ago today, Carmelo Anthony broke a Knicks record by scoring 62 points against Charlotte.
Watch all of his scoring below:
Melo and the Knicks will— fittingly— take on Charlotte again tonight.
Carmelo Anthony was named to his 8th All-Star team on Thursday.
Anthony will be one of the starters for the Eastern Conference in this year’s game, which will be played in Madison Square Garden— Melo’s home floor.
Carmelo will be joined in the Eastern lineup by LeBron James, John Wall, Kyle Lowry, and Pau Gasol. Marc Gasol, Anthony Davis, Stephen Curry, James Harden, and Kobe Bryant (who will be replaced due to injury) were voted in as starters for the West.

The Knicks will need to step their game up down if they want to hold their lead in the Jahlil Race.
Langston Galloway has been impressive in his first couple weeks as an NBA player, and made another terrific play in the Knicks’ (long-overdue) win on Monday:
It wasn’t quite a “Shumpert,” but it’ll do just fine.
The Knicks have traded JR Smith and Iman Shumpert according to reports. A three-way deal with the Knicks, Thunder, and Cavaliers appears to involve some mix of Smith, Shumpert, Samuel Dalembert, Lou Amundson, Dion Waiters, Reggie Jackson, and probably more. More details to follow, but it appears that JR Smith (And his $7 Million player option for next year) is out of New York, and probably on his way to team up with LeBron, Love, and Kyrie in Cleveland. More recent reports have Shumpert (Who the Knicks were expected to lose as a free agent after this season) in the deal as well. Reggie Jackson is now expected to go to the Knicks in the deal. -Tommy Rothman
UPDATE: It is now unclear if Jackson is in the deal. However, Samuel Dalembert IS in the deal.
