Carmelo Anthony cursed out hater on Instagram
As Carmelo Anthony joins the Houston Rockets, he may very well be entering his “get off my lawn” phase.
On Friday, an Instagram fan account by the name of “rocketstoday” posted a Photoshopped image of LeBron James in a Rockets jersey and asked his followers who they would rather have between James and Anthony.
In response, the similarly named account “redskinstoday,” which is verified and has over 75,000 followers, commented, “I can’t beleive [sic] you just asked who I’d rather have, LBJ or fricking old crusty a– Melo.”
That prompted Anthony himself, who was not tagged in the post and does not follow either account, to respond to redskinstoday’s comment with a simple yet biting, “F— you.” You can check out the screenshot here.
The 34-year-old Anthony has a lot to prove this season — he was a negative asset for the Oklahoma City Thunder last season, and many are even lowering Houston’s title odds now that he is aboard. Regardless though of if you think that Melo is washed, his social media clapbacks will always be in their prime.
