When I first heard that a “drug tape” had surfaced that involved Carmelo Anthony, my first thought was, “huh? They found a tape of ‘Melo’s buddy putting pot in Anthony’s gym bag?” My second thought was relief that R. Kelly likely wasn’t within a hundred miles of Baltimore that day.
Like Eric, I also thought of “The Wire,” especially since the tape concerned the drug trade in “Balmer,” and was aimed at scaring snitches. So I guess the question now is, who really has ‘Melo’s ear: Jeff Bzdelik and Kiki Vandeweghe, or Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell?
