I agree strongly with this. I will now duck and hide from the Melo haters.

SALT LAKE CITY — A candid Carmelo Anthony explained his recent frustrations at not getting enough foul calls, saying he’s been told by referees he’s the most “difficult player’’ to officiate and vowing he will never flop.

Anthony, who has received a technical foul in two straight games, is in a five-game slump with his shooting percentage dipping to 40.6 percent on the season. He admitted his wife, La La, chastised him for yelling at the women’s referee Lauren Holtkamp in Monday’s loss to the Mavericks.

“They just tell me I’m the most difficult player to referee in the NBA,’’ Anthony said at the morning shootaround in Utah. “I’ve heard that a couple of times. It’s unclear on who is creating the contact. My goal is to go to the basket. If I’m creating the contact going toward the basket [and] I get hit, it’s a foul.’’

Anthony is one of the most physical drivers in the game, but said he feels he’s recently not being effective because he’s not getting to the free-throw line.

“I always get fouled,’’ Anthony said. “That’s what’s frustrating me. You play so hard, work so hard and don’t benefit from that. You look at other guys, you touch them and look at them wrong and get fouls. It’s a frustrating thing for me as a guy who likes to go to the basket, play in the paint. I like to play physical. It’s frustrating.

“I’m human,’’ Anthony added. “Those frustrations kick in at times, especially when you’re down there banging and know you’re getting banged on. I don’t know what else to do. I don’t know how to play another way.’’

So does he need to sell the foul more?

“See, I don’t know how to flop, that’s the thing,” Anthony said. “Nowadays guys know how to flop, get hit and put their head back. I don’t know how to flop. I won’t even look right trying to do that. I won’t even feel right trying it.

“A lot of times I get hit and I still continue to get to my spots just because I’m big and strong. A lot of guys get hit and they stop. I’m not saying they’re flopping, but they’re lighter than me. I can take a lot more physicality.”

Anthony’s extended remarks put him at risk of drawing a fine from the NBA. The league frowns on players criticizing the officiating.

But it’s not just the whistles. Anthony still believes he’s not in full groove after shutting down last season in February to undergo knee surgery and not getting on the court until August.

“The looks are there,’’ Anthony said. “Some days the rhythm is there, some days it’s not. It’s me staying in the gym finding that rhythm. Some nights they go in, some nights they don’t. There’s weeks it’s been back and games it’s not back. As a competitor, I get frustrated because I know I put so much work on those parts of my game, and when it doesn’t work out, I beat myself up.’’

The Knicks have lost six of their past eight games, and Derek Fisher has upped the level of urgency, staging a 70-minute morning shootaround after complaining of lack of practice time.

“We have to start looking at things and tightening up,’’ Anthony said. “The only time you can do that is in practice. When you don’t have that practice time, you start thinking about that. But now we got to go with it and got to get better in the games and use that as the experience and figure it out on the fly, too.’’

Anthony said the Knicks have held players meetings, and unlike heated ones in the past, these have gone smoothly.

“There’s no egos on this team,’’ Anthony said.

It's a great point. He almost never flops or tries to oversell the contact.

well maybe he should. Reggie did it all the time ... lebron, manu, even Duncan, if you can't beat em join em.

flopping is an art.

How can he be boys with Wade and Lebron and not pick their brains on the art of flopping? It's a damn near art, especially if you don't get called for flopping by the league. He should hit up his actress wife, get some tips, she sells it well especially in that nudie scene from "Power".

What a fool.

I agree it is an art. I find it distasteful and I think Melo does, too. But you are correct - it's an art and very important. Wade is great at it too. And of course Harden. I don't love watching it, but it is effective.

I don't see Westbrook flop and he gets calls to my mind. Then again, maybe he doesn't get as many as the Brons and Wades and Hardens of the world and that might explain why they don't win as many games as you'd think they would or go as far in the playoffs.

The game is played at a very high speed. A good flop just makes the foul call obvious or calls attention to it.

Though I have to say, I think the refs may just not like Melo - they miss a lot of calls where he gets hammered by the defense and they're standing right there.

This is also an area where Phil used to stump for MJ and Pippen after games and campaign to the media about calls. Fisher needs to learn that art from Phil.

It is a very good point. Thanks for posting the article.

I think Melo is right: I don't think focusing on flopping right now suits him, even if it works for other players.

It makes me feel dirty to think of his lack of flopping as a hole in his game, but in reality it is. But like he says, if this becomes part of his focus, it probably won't even look right.

Maybe it's another argument for the "Melo is a PF" pile.

Any coaches here: is "selling" a foul — to put it euphemistically — something you ever have to work on with your players?

How so? The greats of the game have all gotten calls by exaggerating movements to get whistles. Even MJ and Kobe have gotten benefit of the officials just by flailing out a little. Reggie made an art out of this. Lebron and Manu mastered this. Harden is the new GOAT flopper.

I looked it up because I remembered Melo getting more calls in the past than he has this season.

He was at the line 7.6 times per game in the 2012-3, as opposed to 5.6 per game this season. I'd say he's getting fewer calls these days. Possibly because he's missing more shots than normal?

He also had many many seasons over 8 attempts a game in Denver including 8.9 per game the last full season before he came to NY. He's never been over 8 per game since he got here.

Melo FTA by year:

03-04: 6.4
04-05: 7.6
05-06: 8.9
06-07: 8.7
07-08: 7.7
08-09: 7.1
09-10: 8.9
10-11 DEN: 8.3
10-11 NYK: 7.0
11-12: 6.7
12-13: 7.6
13-14: 7.0
14-15: 5.9
15-16: 5.7

So the last two years have been by far the lowest free throw attempts of his career.

Melo got more free throw attempts HIS ROOKIE SEASON than he is getting this year. Which seems crazy to me.

Also, if you look, his Denver years are generally higher than his NYK years.

I'm simply using an analogy. LaLa acts, Floppers act. Same thing soccer players do to get calls. It's called gamesmanship, something Melo doesn't have an ounce of.

Take a chill pill dude. Just talking sports here, right? Melo's not your brother or best friend, is he?

SALT LAKE CITY — A candid Carmelo Anthony explained his recent frustrations at not getting enough foul calls, saying he’s been told by referees he’s the most “difficult player’’ to officiate and vowing he will never flop.

Anthony, who has received a technical foul in two straight games, is in a five-game slump with his shooting percentage dipping to 40.6 percent on the season. He admitted his wife, La La, chastised him for yelling at the women’s referee Lauren Holtkamp in Monday’s loss to the Mavericks.

“They just tell me I’m the most difficult player to referee in the NBA,’’ Anthony said at the morning shootaround in Utah. “I’ve heard that a couple of times. It’s unclear on who is creating the contact. My goal is to go to the basket. If I’m creating the contact going toward the basket [and] I get hit, it’s a foul.’’

Anthony is one of the most physical drivers in the game, but said he feels he’s recently not being effective because he’s not getting to the free-throw line.

“I always get fouled,’’ Anthony said. “That’s what’s frustrating me. You play so hard, work so hard and don’t benefit from that. You look at other guys, you touch them and look at them wrong and get fouls. It’s a frustrating thing for me as a guy who likes to go to the basket, play in the paint. I like to play physical. It’s frustrating.

“I’m human,’’ Anthony added. “Those frustrations kick in at times, especially when you’re down there banging and know you’re getting banged on. I don’t know what else to do. I don’t know how to play another way.’’

So does he need to sell the foul more?

“See, I don’t know how to flop, that’s the thing,” Anthony said. “Nowadays guys know how to flop, get hit and put their head back. I don’t know how to flop. I won’t even look right trying to do that. I won’t even feel right trying it.

“A lot of times I get hit and I still continue to get to my spots just because I’m big and strong. A lot of guys get hit and they stop. I’m not saying they’re flopping, but they’re lighter than me. I can take a lot more physicality.”

Anthony’s extended remarks put him at risk of drawing a fine from the NBA. The league frowns on players criticizing the officiating.

But it’s not just the whistles. Anthony still believes he’s not in full groove after shutting down last season in February to undergo knee surgery and not getting on the court until August.

“The looks are there,’’ Anthony said. “Some days the rhythm is there, some days it’s not. It’s me staying in the gym finding that rhythm. Some nights they go in, some nights they don’t. There’s weeks it’s been back and games it’s not back. As a competitor, I get frustrated because I know I put so much work on those parts of my game, and when it doesn’t work out, I beat myself up.’’

The Knicks have lost six of their past eight games, and Derek Fisher has upped the level of urgency, staging a 70-minute morning shootaround after complaining of lack of practice time.

“We have to start looking at things and tightening up,’’ Anthony said. “The only time you can do that is in practice. When you don’t have that practice time, you start thinking about that. But now we got to go with it and got to get better in the games and use that as the experience and figure it out on the fly, too.’’

Anthony said the Knicks have held players meetings, and unlike heated ones in the past, these have gone smoothly.

“There’s no egos on this team,’’ Anthony said.

well maybe he should. Reggie did it all the time ... lebron, manu, even Duncan, if you can't beat em join em.

flopping is an art.

for pussies. At least the NBA put a fine in for it. Also there is a difference between selling a call and flopping. Selling a call is when its ticky tack, but yea it actually did happen. Flopping is when it doesnt happen and your trying to trick the ref. Phucking lame... is this part of the new NBA thats passing me by also?

Cute? I'm talking about selling the foul, which Melo has no concept of doing. LaLa's an actress, correct? She can't give him nuances on how to act properly to get said calls?

I agree. I do think Melo needs to learn how to sell the calls though.

But I have always felt like the refs let Melo get chewed up a little down low. They don't seem to like them.

Harden is averaging 11.4 free throws this year. And basically averaging 10 free throws a game since he got to Houston. It's so boring and kills the game's flow to me, which is one of the best parts of basketball.

I wish they'd look at it more - and I do wish Melo got more calls.

What a fool.

God, you are an ass.

How so? The greats of the game have all gotten calls by exaggerating movements to get whistles. Even MJ and Kobe have gotten benefit of the officials just by flailing out a little. Reggie made an art out of this. Lebron and Manu mastered this. Harden is the new GOAT flopper.

Tell me how I'm an ass again just because I proved you wrong?

You know damn well you are an ass for the LaLa actress **** and calling him a fool. Don't pretend you were posting about basketball and not just being a petulant little pest.

I'm simply using an analogy. LaLa acts, Floppers act. Same thing soccer players do to get calls. It's called gamesmanship, something Melo doesn't have an ounce of.

Take a chill pill dude. Just talking sports here, right? Melo's not your brother or best friend, is he?

And he's a fool because he wants to be a basketball player and not an actor? LaLa's titties is just talking sports? Don't be too cute for your own good.

Cute? I'm talking about selling the foul, which Melo has no concept of doing. LaLa's an actress, correct? She can't give him nuances on how to act properly to get said calls?

Your M.O. is to insult Melo because you hate he is on this team. I think everyone gets it by now. Keep pretending you aren't being a little snot and just talking about basketball though. You can give Melo some acting lessons maybe?

Wow man, you need to get off the guy's nuts. This has nothing to do with basketball.

Perhaps so. I'll reach out to his agent for a session.

I agree with this: Carmelo "I don't get foul calls because I don't flop."
