Kobe Bryant: It's 'Stupid' That Nuggets Fans Are Booing Carmelo Anthony

Filed under: , ,



DENVER -- Carmelo Anthony had just scored 35 points and his Denver Nuggets had just beaten Oklahoma City for one of their biggest wins of the season.

So what did the home fans do Wednesday when Anthony spoke in a post-game interview that was broadcast throughout the Pepsi Center? They booed.

"That's stupid,'' star guard Kobe Bryant said in speaking with FanHouse and the Denver Post after the Lakers practiced Thursday at the Pepsi Center in preparation for Friday's game against Denver. "That's not very smart.''

Bryant believes Nuggets fans are hurting whatever chance there might be that Anthony, who likely will be dealt by the Feb. 24 trade deadline, might want to re-sign with the team.

"Put yourself in his shoes,'' Bryant said. "If you're teeter-tottering about going somewhere, he'd be more inclined to go to another place where they're going to cheer you instead of boo you.''
