Look at Carmelo Anthony’s hat, just look at it

The Knicks love their hats. Carmelo Anthony in particular. After Friday’s loss to the Nets, Melo took post-game questions looking like ...

... that. Like if Willy Wonka tie-dyed his own wardrobe:

Or acid wash Uncle Sam:

Or a birthday cake:

I’m honestly wondering if that’s supposed to be a normal (well “normal”) white hat with thin blue stripes, but at some point Melo wore it out in the rain and it bled and now he’s trying to pass it off as a cool fashion thing.

Meanwhile, my eternal respect to all the reporters who had to hang out around Melo and ask him regular questions about the game like he wasn’t standing in front of them wearing Jack the Ripper’s Kindergarten arts and crafts project.
