Carmelo Anthony’s Ridiculous Post-Game Outfit Immediately Became An Extraordinary Internet Meme

The lowly Knicks managed to squeak out an improbable win last night, overcoming a double-digit third quarter deficit to best the Indiana Pacers 87-81. Carmelo Anthony scored 15 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and grabbed 13 rebounds to propel the Knicks to the W. The Knicks are in 12th place in the East, six games out of the final spot with 14 games remaining. Technically, they’re not eliminated from the playoffs, but of course they won’t make a push for it.

Like most of us, Carmelo Anthony was preparing for the “blizzard” that never was. Unlike most of us, we didn’t kill several animals in preparation. Melo’s post-game attire immediately became a meme, and the internet did not disappoint.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
