Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, who is vice president of the players association, told ESPN on Saturday he was “skeptical” the sides could work out a new deal before the Dec. 15 deadline for either side to reopen the current CBA.

In Saturday’s game against the Kings, Carmelo Anthony shows he has given up on the Knicks this season. Rudy Gay steals a bad pass, Anthony chases him to about half court and decides to let off the acceleration. Maybe he was tired or simply thought the Knicks are 5-26 so what’s the point. Whatever the reason, it’s inexcusable. No matter what the Knicks’ record is, Anthony should be giving $124 million effort on a nightly basis....
“I know I can still play,” he said Friday on ESPN’s “First Take.” Anthony, 35, didn’t always feel that way, particularly after an unceremonious exit following a 10-game stint with the Rockets early last season. “I felt like the game didn’t want me back at that point in time,” he admitted, describing a time in which he felt “emotionally vulnerable.” That was the aftermath of the meeting in which Rockets GM Daryl Morey told Anthony, a six-time All-NBA selection who led the league in scoring as recently as 2012-13 season (28....
The low ranking was a topic of discussion for most of Tuesday morning, and eventually Melo chimed in. Before we get to his reaction, we should point out he’s been upset at rankings in the past. Last season, Slam ranked him as the 15th best player, which is pretty generous. MELO TRADE RUMORS: Trail Blazers possible? But Anthony was upset at that, too, saying at the time it was “disrespect....
Ronaldo reps slam ‘disgusting’ rape claims United’s only defeat in their last 17 matches was a 1-0 reverse to Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-final at Stamford Bridge, while they have not lost in the Premier League since a 4-0 thrashing by the leaders on October 23. A failure to break down stubborn opponents and see out matches from winning positions has hampered their progress this term, however. United have 12 draws in the top flight - nine of which have come at Old Trafford - and remain four points outside the top four in the table....
Minis are Japan’s answer to America’s iconic muscle cars or Britain’s open-air roadsters–affordable vehicles to collect, race, customize or simply roll out of the garage for a Sunday spin. Nostalgia is swelling for these ““people’s cars,’’ the first vehicles many Japanese owned and pampered. More recently, minis became the second cars people tinkered with and–in the case of ““bubble-era’’ convertibles produced during Japan’s 1980s economic boom–drove for sport. Today, says Hidetoshi Arai, chief editor of the magazine K-Car Special, ““minicars are tools for fun....

It would impose fines on U.S. firms whose foreign subsidiaries trade with Cuba and would prohibit U. . aid to the Soviet Union until it cuts off all military and economic assistance....
