"I don't believe that males should take baths" - Carmelo Anthony once revealed why he doesn't use baths
NBA legend Carmelo Anthony made a bold revelation in 2005 when he appeared on the famous MTV "Cribs" show. The then-Denver Nuggets player opened the doors of his penthouse to the show and gave them a tour around the place.
After showing off a pool table and the views he had of the city and going to his kitchen and bedroom, Anthony took the camera to the bathroom, which he called a "place of business."
There, he would reveal that he didn't take baths, as he didn't believe males should get them.
"I don't take baths, I don't believe that male should take baths. The dirt still stealing your back," Carmelo Anthony said. [4:08 mark]
This happened 19 years ago when Melo's NBA career was only two years old. It's unclear if his thoughts about baths have changed, but he's still speaking his mind on the things he'd like to see.
Anthony would have a second appearance on this show in 2010, with former Indiana Pacers star Danny Granger joining him.
Carmelo Anthony lobbies for more former athletes to be involved in team ownership
Aside from the bath talk, Carmelo Anthony shared his thoughts about former athletes becoming owners.
During Tuesday's episode of his "7PM in Brooklyn" show, the former New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets star said he'd like to see more players becoming owners and influence day-to-day decisions with their prior experience.
"I'm for it. I'm for athletes in ownership," Anthony said. "I think there's not enough of us in those seats. There's not enough of us in those boardrooms making the basketball decisions and being able to sit at the table and not just write a check and tell somebody else to go run it."
Businessman, and LeBron James' agent, Rich Paul offered a different perspective, saying that players should join ownership groups with experience in running organizations.
"For me, it's a double-edged sword," Paul said. "I would rather them be able to have access to the deal flow of the groups that are buying these teams and be able to invest alongside the governors and owners of these teams in addition to being able to own teams." [from 47:22 mark]
LeBron James is expected to become a team owner after his career is over, while Michael Jordan was the Charlotte Hornets' owner for over a decade.
Tom Brady joined the Las Vegas Raiders' ownership group this week and perhaps in the next few years, more former athletes will follow them.
