Create-a-caption: 'Melo in Spain

Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony(notes) enjoys a little watermelon at a school in southern Spain where he is currently traveling and getting the opportunity to train 700 aspiring hoopsters. Best caption wins some apples. GL.


After the jump, some TimberLOLves rookies sign a few basketballs.

Winner, GWiss:
Wayne Ellington(notes), left, complained to reporters that although he's a team player, he doesn't think it's right that he was asked to sign hundreds of basketballs with the name "Ricky Rubio".

Runner-up, TicketKG:
Flynn to Ellington: "They said whoever signs more balls wont get traded."

    Carmelo: Y'all are a bunch of small minded, stuck in the past, bigoted racists! Givin me watermelon , what in the world were you thinkin? That I automatically like watermelon? Come on Spanish people!
    Lucky for y'all I happen to love watermelon. But its not due to my race or ethnicity. Its because watermelon is delicious. Everyone loves watermelons.
