Melo clarifies that he likes Vanessa Carlton, doesn't like mornings

Olympic Sports, Men's Olympic Basketball, New York Knicks

The younger members of the U.S. men's basketball team made their love of Vanessa Carlton's song "A Thousand Miles" well-known over the weekend. In a video posted by DeMarcus Cousins, veteran Carmelo Anthony is clearly not impressed: 

After Monday's final tuneup for Team USA before the Olympics (a 110-66 victory over Nigeria), Melo apologized to Carlton and clarified that his issue was not with the song, but with mornings -- and likely his teammates' shenanigans.  

Carlton tweeted over the weekend that she understood where Melo was coming from.

Perhaps there's a halftime duet in the works?
