Carmelo Anthony Responds to Instagram Comments, Says Porzingis Pick Was a Steal

Carmelo Anthony is trying to set the record straight by responding to comments on Instagram. 

After posting a photo of him and former teammate Tim Hardaway Jr. on Friday night, Anthony took the time to respond to a number of commenters.

Contrary to reports that the Knicks star is upset with New York's selection of Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth pick of the 2015 NBA draft, Melo said the pick was a "steal": 

He told another fan to be "patient" with the team:
