Why Carmelo Anthony Should Consider Playing In China Now

China's flag with a few revisions by Carmelo Anthony. 

Not many NBA players would want to consider going to China to play basketball, especially in their primes. However, I think Carmelo Anthony should consider going to China sooner rather than later in his career and here are some reasons for you to consider:

• He considered playing in China before when the NBA season was threatened to be cancelled. 
• He has good memories in Beijing getting to his highest point in his career by winning an Olympic gold medal. 
• If Stephon Marbury has a statue there, Carmelo is definitely going to get one there. (Doesn't seem like he is going to get one in the USA at this rate...)
• He loves playing for big cities. There are LOTS of those in China. 
• He always wants to be the BIGGEST name and BIGGEST go to player on at least his team, if not the league and he would be doing so in the most populous country.
• Tracy McGrady, who recently migrated over to the Chinese league after failing to obtain a spot in the NBA, has his face on his shoes. A player of Melo's caliber would not only be able to get his face on a pair of shoes, but his whole team's jerseys and would even change their team name to the Melo's.  

The picture Carmelo Anthony would choose for his new team the Melo's. 

• He is already going to be a film star in China. 
• He might be there in a couple of years anyways. He seems to me to be the type of dominate player who may just fall off and follow in the foot steps of Stephon and T-Mac by playing in China. He might as well get a head start on his fan base.

And if that is not enough: Pandas, son, pandas.

Pandas love it when you look gangsta.
