Anthony: No Recruiting at All-Star Weekend

The very best players in the world — at least the healthy ones — descend upon New Orleans for the NBA All-Star Game this weekend. Some, like noted Knick Carmelo Anthony, expect to enter the free agent market this summer. So won’t that likely be a topic of conversation for the stars?

“I think All-Star weekend is just a time where you can relax, decompress, kind of reflect on the first half of the season and gear up for the second half of the season,” Anthony said, noting tales of recruiting “as always, as always” are blown out of proportion. “As far as recruiting and things like that, that never happens.”
