Carmelo talks street with NBA Street

This is a usual scene. A couple of guys hanging out, just chilling in the couch, armed with Xbox 360 controllers. Typical guy fun.

What makes this scene not-so typical is that one of the guys is an interviewer, EGM‘s Bryan Intihar, and the other guy is NBA Street Homecourt‘s cover star Carmelo Anthony. Cool, eh? Anyway, it was a very casual round of Q&A, with the cover boy seemingly enjoying whatever game he was playing.

Asked if he were to pick two guys to play street with him right then and there, he pauses for a while and answers Shaq and Ron Artest. “For one, you ain’t gonna make no basket. For two, Ron Artest’s gonna foul you everytime.” Well it’s pretty obvious this guy’s always up for that extra challenge.

Anyways, talking about the game, he says, “When you play NBA Street, you gotta know how to play street.” Oh no, please let that not be necessary! He then cites mental toughness and competitive spirit as the must-haves when playing street ball. Take it from this Denver Nugget star. He’s a pro.
