Co-host of Good Morning America, Live! With Kelly and Michael, former NY Giants great and football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan interviewed Carmelo Anthony for Adweek in a random NYC gymnasium and the two Big Apple sports legends chopped things on a variety of topics. Including LeBron James returning home.
Strahan: [On being a pro athlete in New York] Not only on the court, but off the court, you’re the leader. Everything you do is more scrutinized. You have to be more careful than anybody else. And watching LeBron [James] go back to Cleveland, did that affect your decision on staying in New York, and did you learn anything from watching LeBron go back home?
Anthony: No. Honestly, I think it was the other way around. I think he saw when I came back home to New York and saw the response and saw the reaction and saw how at peace I was when I came back home. … I’m pretty sure he looked at that moment and saw that that was a very special moment, and he had the opportunity to go back home himself and regain that love.
