Carmelo is Proud of His Puertorican Heritage

Anthony J. Causi

CARMELO ANTHONY:Melo’s ink includes the Puerto Rican flag, a nod to his heritage, a bulldog, a flaming basketball, the phrases “When the grass is cut the snakes will show,” “Who can I trust,” “Loyalty, Honesty, Blessed and Delivered,” and “No Struggle No Progress.” The “WB” — done in the style of the Warner Brothers logo — on his left shoulder stands for West Baltimore, where the Red Hook-born Knicks star grew up — and does not mean “no snitchin warn a brotha,” as some have speculated, Harris said.
