What a night for Carmelo Anthony. Amid “MVP” chants from Knicks fans in the Brooklyn crowd, Melo drained a season-high 45 points to spark a thrilling, come-from-behind victory.

It sounded pretty crazy then, mostly because of the guy that just won Sportsman of the Year, along with just about everything else you could possibly win over the past calendar year as a basketball player.
