Looks like Carmelo Anthony played through an elbow injury for about 6 of his 8 years in the league. Interesting.

"Nobody knew, but I was struggling with my elbow for the past six years," he said. "If you go back to games, I was never able to hold my follow-through up, I was always jerking my shot and it just felt weird. But now that I got the surgery, got it to where I can extend my elbow out more, there's no pain."

He repeated the last part as if it were some kind of revelation.

"No pain at all."

On that note, I'll be interested to see what Wesley Matthews looks like this year on a healthy ankle.
