Denver Stiffs received an email from ESPN's media relations department informing us that Carmelo Anthony will be featured on E:60 on October 20th at 5 p.m. MTN.
ESPN's award-winning primetime newsmagazine E:60 will feature a revealing interview with controversial NBA star Carmelo Anthony in the episode airing Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m. ET. The program, which launched in October 2007, combines investigative reporting, in-depth profiles of intriguing sports personalities and features on emerging star athletes. These stories are presented in a fresh and innovative format that incorporates producer/correspondent meetings.
Anthony's off the court life often receives more attention than his playing. Incidents ranging from fights to drugs to his involvement in a "Stop Snitchin'" DVD have kept the public's attention off of his skills and on what he calls "knucklehead" behavior. But Anthony says he has moved beyond his mistakes and is now ready to lead the Denver Nuggets to an NBA Championship.
He opened up about his past in a candid interview with E:60's Lisa Salters and tells his side of the controversies that have followed him, from defending his fiancé's honor to the disappointing 2004 Olympics and his explanation for the 2006 brawl between the Nuggets and the Knicks. E:60 interviewed Anthony's coaches, his mother and his friend, LeBron James, about who Anthony is and how he's perceived by the public as he tries to put his past behind him.
