Secret behind Melo’s tenaciousness disclosed
The NBA All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony has been observing ‘Daniel fast’. Anyone planning to go for the same diet plan might be interested in knowing what to stick to. One of the best things about the plan is that one does not have to follow any specific
amount of food but only stick to vegetables and water, along with fruits.
Even though surrounded by a cloud of rumour regarding his trade to the New York Knicks, Melo is accomplishing a tenacious record on the court. The player handles it very well and now everyone knows what the secret is. The 26-year-old Denver Nuggets star
has been observing a 21-day meatless fast from 9-30 January, 2011. Now we know the reason behind his 7-of-8 free throws during the 28 points in Nuggets versus Memphis Grizzlies matchup at Memphis.
Anthony had a wonderful experience observing the fast and was quoted as saying, “It was mental. It was spiritual. It was emotional.” So the secret behind all those long strides and powerful dunks is out now.
Fruits, vegetables, protein shakes and raw juices were all the All-Star forward has been savouring on during the entire diet. The diet revolves around restricting one’s self from all forms of meat, including fish, bread, sweets and soda too. The player is
so accustomed to the diet that he still avoids meat and sodas.
Another good aspect of the diet was that it showed Anthony a different aspect of life. It was apparent when he said, “I started seeing things a lot more clearly from every aspect of my life.” He said that he spent his time in praying, looking at things and
took time out for himself and as a result saw things moving in a good direction.
Perhaps the diet has helped the player take a new surge in his games. He has averaged 35.4 points in five games that took place since 4 February. He even tied his season-high 50 points while playing against the Houston Rockets and had a tenacious 42 sealed
during a clash against Dallas Mavericks on 10 February, Thursday.
He is only getting better with the passage of time, not letting go of the shots that come his way and making his impact from beyond the arc. The player has been leaving a trail when there have been rumours all around him since the trade talk began.
As more and more contenders seeking the player’s addition to their team move in, Anthony has been refraining himself from the ballyhoo by cutting on his supply of newspapers and avoiding any interest in headlines with his name in it. The player still emphasized
on keeping all his options open but last week had a speculation over extending his contract with his current team, Denver Nuggets.
It takes strong will-power and huge effort to go through what Anthony is going right now. Despite being under pressure because of the trade talks, the player is focusing all his energy in serving the Nuggets with the best of him. It is indeed Anthony’s strength
that he has pulled out such a strong front in this difficult situation. “I take my hat off to myself for dealing with all this stuff that’s going on out there, and still be able to go out there and play at the highest level.
Hats off to Anthony indeed.
