Aww, Carmelo Anthony’s a Family Man

Getting straight to the punch (yes, pun intended), it appears as if Carmelo Anthony is eager to embrace fatherhood

Anthony said Friday he “probably” will miss at least one game next week because of the birth of his first child. Anthony’s fiancee, La La Vazquez, is due to give birth to a baby boy Tuesday. “Oh, yeah, I’m going to be there,” Anthony said of the birth.

He’s suuuch a sweet guy, don’t you just love him? Women everywhere should long to have such a loving and caring fiance as Melo. 

Of course, being the resounding optimist that I am, I must say that quote has “image rebuilding” written all over it. You think the same people who came up with his myspace page gave him this idea too?

Naww, who would ever jump to a conlcusion like that?

I guess the next question that must be asked is what should they name the kid? Certainly it has to be VJ compatible – all suggestions welcome.

I guess I’ll go with Captain Limpwrist. After all, isn’t it my duty to bring up a man’s most memorable moment during a time of family celebration?

Run Melo, Run!
