SOUNDBITE: (English): Carmelo Anthony, forward:

"For me it's embarrassing... I can't even put that in words, I can't even describe the feeling, you know. The last couple of nights just staying up all night trying to figure out what happened, what went wrong, why this, why that. And like said earlier maybe those questions will never be answered, you know. Maybe I shouldn't ask why. But I do. It is what it is with that and I'm going to keep searching for those answers. A lot of times I put this stuff on me. Even when maybe it's not my fault, I still put it on my shoulders. But that's just the person that I am and that's never going to change."
