His success did not go unnoticed, as many scouts and fans alike speculated that he could become a lottery pick.

Carmelo Anthony: Biggest Snub from the 2011 All-NBA Teams

The results of the All-NBA Teams came out today. There were familiar faces, such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, among others. However, there was one player who, for some reason I cannot understand, did not make any of the three teams. That player is Carmelo Anthony.
