Кармело Энтони: «Рад, что в честь меня назвали новое правило»

А вот и новость в оригинале: Переводчики, конечно, подрезали знатно... They call it «The Melo Rule,’’ and it has been one of the sticking points between players and owners in the broken-down talks over a new NBA collective-bargaining agreement. The prohibition of «extend-and-trade» deals, such as the one that allowed the Knicks to acquire Carmelo Anthony from the Nuggets last season, is one of six contentious system issues that brought the collective-bargaining process to a grinding halt last week. Through the Melo Rule, the owners want to limit how much control a player has on where he plays. Players, meanwhile, want the freedom to go where they please. And the player who inspired the rule found it amusing that it could become a part of his legacy. «I’m just glad I can be part of something,’’ Anthony said last month. «When I’m dead and gone, the Melo Rule will still be here. I’m just excited that they named a rule after me.’’ Anthony is the lead plaintiff, along with four other NBA players, in a complaint in Northern California District Court -- known as Anthony et al vs. National Basketball Association -- that is one of two lawsuits the players have filed against the league. The other, in Minnesota District Court, is led by Mavericks forward Caron Butler. Anthony actually came forward and offered to lend his name as a star player (the way Tom Brady did, along with Drew Brees and Peyton Manning, in the NFL players’ lawsuit against owners last spring). Another All-Star, Kevin Durant, also is on the Northern California complaint along with Anthony’s Knicks teammate, Chauncey Billups. There has yet to be a motion in response from the NBA in either suit.

Видимо при каких-то конкретных обстоятельствах. Но ньюсрайтеры спортс.ру, как это часто бывает, недорабатывают тему и не поймешь, что они имели в виду.
