Carmelo Anthony shared some valuable advice with rap king Gillie Da Kid. During a recent episode of ‘7 pm in Brooklyn,’ the New York Knicks legend shared his opinion on Kid’s bold one-on-one challenge to Jamal Crawford. Melo, who is well aware of Crawford’s game, openly expressed his opinion that the rapper might have made a wrong decision.
