Carmelo Anthony has a message for Knicks fans concerned that he’d ruin the team’s new-found chemistry under Jeremy Lin.

“I want Jeremy to have the ball, hands down,” Anthony said Monday night after going 3-for-10 in 31 minutes with Lin on the floor in New York’s loss to the Nets. “I want him to create for me, I want him to create for Amare, I want him to create for everybody and still be as aggressive as he’s been in the past.”
