By Jon Ackerman Nuggets.com Correspondent http://www.nba.com/nuggets/community/melo_christmas_120204.html Since his one glorious year at Syracuse University, which preceded his first professional season with the Denver Nuggets, Carmelo Anthony has always caught notice with his flashy smile. While leading his school to its first national championship in 2003, and then spearheading the Nuggets’ remarkable playoff run last season, his grin was plastered on sports pages and TV screens all over the country. On Wednesday, December 1 at the Cross Community Coalition Family Resource Center in Globeville, that signature smile brought similar expressions to the faces of nearly 100 children. Donning a Santa Claus hat and assuming the big guy’s position in front of the Melo Christmas Tree, Anthony played the role of gift-giver after posing for a picture with every child – and nearly every adult – in the place. He enjoyed every minute of it. “I always have fun when I do stuff like this,” he said. The youngsters, who came in from one of five Denver-area Family Resource Centers, all received a “Very Melo Christmas Party” T-shirt, a gift bag and Polaroid picture of their moment with Melo. After all the photos had been snapped, Anthony presented Family Resource Centers, his non-profit agency of choice, with a $30,000 donation from his Melo candy bar sales and the proceeds from the charity basketball game he hosted earlier this year. “I could have chosen the YMCA or the Boys and Girls Club, but there was just something that stood out about the Family Resource Center,” he said. Each family in attendance also took home tickets for the Nuggets’ game on Monday against the Orlando Magic, and vouchers good for a Colorado Ballet Nutcracker performance this weekend. To say the least, everyone left happy. And for some kids, their Christmas wish was granted early. When asked how long he’d been waiting to meet Melo, 9-year-old Cameron Anderson of Aurora said, “All my life.” After shaking his idol’s hand and posing for a picture, Anderson couldn’t stop smiling. “That was really cool, ” he said. The kids’ gift bags contained a copy of Anthony’s recently-released book, It ’s Just the Beginning, as well as issues of Brand Jordan, a catalogue featuring the Nike Air Jordan Melo 1.5, and Above the Rim, the Denver Nuggets ’ magazine. When all was said and done, the Family Resource Center presented Anthony with a thank-you card signed by every child in attendance. Without hesitation, the Nuggets’ 20-year-old star flashed that familiar smile. “I enjoy doing this. It’s awesome,” he said 轉錄自nba官網 --- 雖然耶誕節過嚕但裡面的melo很可愛還是來分享囉 -- 50cc的小黑..66塊的油錢..348公里的路程..1000元有找的大鎖... 一個任性的我...一個離開的你... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.134.42.106
