Fresh off winning an Olympic gold medal, Carmelo Anthony discussed his fervent support for Barack Obama as well as his hopes to meet him at the convention:
"I support him 100 percent," Anthony said. "I'm not a politician, I can tell you

Although Melo's endorsement is probably a far cry popularity wise when compared to Lebron James', Anthony living and working in Denver could add a different dynamic at the upcoming DNC convention. The fact that the convention is held at the same place the Nuggets play is just added icing on the cake.
