Carmelo AnthonyI don't put pressure on myself. When I put pressure on myself, then I just play bad. When I play bad, my team plays bad.
Carmelo AnthonyAlthough you do look at the big picture, if you're dealing with the now, it can be kind of frustrating. You're losing basketball games, things not going the way you want it to go or should go, but at the same time we've just got to stay with it. Just stay positive, just stay focused, as a team, as a unit, because the ship easily can sink early.
Carmelo AnthonyI believe that you should put the right people around you, people that will not let anything go wrong.
Carmelo AnthonyI did this campaign that was called "Back to the Basics" where I went back to the street, went back to my block, and really felt the people. We've got to go back to that sometimes. We distance ourselves from that and we see it from afar. Some people can't relate back to that; once you're out of it, they don't want to relate back to that. It's always good to get back to the basics, though. You've got to touch the roots, you've got to touch those people. Regardless of what's going on, people always respect that.
