Carmelo Anthony Won’t Use Crutches Because Of #SwagReasons

Carmelo Anthony talked about his injuries after practice on Friday and all seems to be going well. He's out of the boot that was protecting his injured ankle, but still has a brace on his wrist. It's not often video of a player talking about his injuries is must-watch, but this one is.

↵The key quote is as follows: “Yeah I had a boot on last night. They wanted me on crutches, but it was messin’ my swag up.”

↵And having been forced to use crutches for an extended period of time, I’d have to agree with Anthony. Hard to look good on crutches, especially with that under-arm chaffing.

↵Let’s all celebrate the return of #SwagReasons. Somewhere, Tajh Boyd smiles and shakes his head.
