Carmelo Anthony’s return to his home state of New York has been a pretty successful one so far. His first full-season with the Knicks saw them getting all the way to the playoffs where they fell to eventual champions Miami. This time around they’re looking even better as the second best team in the East. This quick clip touches on a little bit on that surreal feeling that Melo has gotten familiar with as far as going from being a kid in Brooklyn to a star at the Garden. Hit the jump for the video and stay tuned for more on the #PlayforNY campaign from this week’s pending launch of the Jordan Melo M9.

So it’s been nearly two years since Carmelo Anthony changed scenery from Denver to New York, but it wasn’t until this season that the spirit of winning seemed to have consumed his whole being. After an outstanding performance at the 2012 Olympic Games, Carmelo Anthony – regarded as a true superstar in the league one of the best Small Forwards of all-time – had a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Several All-Star Game appearances and All-NBA Teams were already under his belt, but Melo’s been playing like he still needs to prove something – a big reason why he’s a leading candidate for League MVP.

Melo has been a huge figure in New York sports ever since making his move out to the Big Apple a couple of years ago, but that doesn’t mean he can’t still rock gear that has an association outside of the Empire State.

Today’s official unveiling of the Air Jordan XX8 was a top secret event by all accounts, with industry folks tight lipped about what exactly the sneaker media should expect going into their exclusive set up in midtown Manhattan today. As folks from the blogosphere filtered into the dimly lit room, things became more and more apparent. Jordan Brand president Larry Miller kicked things off, bringing out the one and only Spike Lee to get things started, with Carmelo Anthony eventually taking to the stage as well to talk the game of hoops with Mars Blackmon himself. After that portion wrapped up, attendees were ushered upstairs via freight elevator to see what Jordan Brand had in store next. Once the crowd was made to converge, following the endless ogling of the Air Jordan ‘Blackout Collection’ display, a projection played on the walls of the room, the massive doors at the center broke away, and there it was: the Air Jordan XX8. Spike Lee again picked up the narrative from there, rapping with Air Jordan architect and sneaker design guru Tinker Hatfield along with project designer Josh Heard about the new model.

More angles below, so take a look and throw in your offer on this listing from pistol07 on eBay.
