Carmelo Anthony officially announces his return to the Knicks

The second NBA superstar announcement of the week came via Melo’s personal website.

Pretty cool. After all the flirtation, Melo returns to New York even after a down season.

Of course, a max (or near-max contract) doesn’t hurt either:
