Awkward sentence

The sentence "before Carmelo joined the 2004 USA Olympic basketball team, he was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher's crew members for falsely believing that Carmelo's friends trashed the room that was worth $10,000 in damages," sounds a bit stilted to me, but I can't think of a good way to rephrase it, since I'm not familiar with the exact nature of the Punk. Any suggestions? Microtonal 19:57, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Puerto Rican?

I understand he is of Puerto Rican descent, but he plays for the United States internationally. If he has dual citizenship, then the tag should stay, but if not it should be removed. SteelyDave 00:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

His father was Puerto Rican, he died when carmelo was only 2 years old. His family(father's side) still resides on the island.

I understand that, but he is a US international player. Descent and nationality are very different things. - Plasticbadge 15:02, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

dual citizenship? All Puerto Ricans born in Puerto Rico are Official US Citizens. Plus he has the Puerto Rican Flag tattooed on his hand, which was highlighted in his latest TV AD. Look for it. --4.250.192.48 20:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Olympic Record

First off... I fixed the table to show bronze instead of gold. But Carmelo's olympic experience isn't documented other than he was on the team. Anyone have his stats? 24.58.47.53 01:42, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Puetrocian = Mutliracial

Firstly you need a source. If someone looks at Carmello Anthony they would assume he is black so you need a source that suggest or proves that Anthony is half Puetro Rican. Also there are black Puerto Ricans so that doesn't make him Multiracial if his dad was a black Puerto Rican. There needs to be sources that say his Puerto Rican parent is not only Puerto Rican but not black, otherwise Anthony is not multiracial, or we cannot assume that because he is not very multiracial looking.

Well his mother is half black so thats why he is black. But really, i dont event think this is relevant, he is puerto rican,its in his blood.

It may be in his blood, but his passport reads "US", as does his national team jersey. Please differentaite between nationality and descent. -Plasticbadge 15:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully this will settle it

Team USA's first loss in Olympic play using NBA players was to Puerto Rico in Athens. Anthony's late father was from Puerto Rico, and he has family there. The Baltimore product had a Puerto Rican flag tattooed on his hand last year. His fiancée, Lala Vasquez, also is Puerto Rican.

Anthony hasn't forgotten that historic loss.

"I don't know (my family there) that well, but the Spanish people I do know gave me some grief," Anthony said.

Controversy

Why is there no mention of his appearing in the "all rats must die" gangster video that threatened the life of witnesses in drug cases?
