• Melo on Young Hollywood, Chris Bosh on getting crushed by the Nuggets

  These are good times for the Denver Nuggets. The squad is playing team basketball, and the results have been breathtaking at times: Witness last night's 132-93 dismantling of the Toronto Raptors. No wonder Carmelo Anthony is so gleeful in an interview with YoungHollywood.com held at the November 20 launch party for his newest shoe, the Jordan Melo M5. In the clip, Anthony still seems a little conflicted about the departure of Allen Iverson, but he rightly praises Denver's own Chauncey Billups,

• Give a hand to our Denver Nuggets-Indiana Pacers slide show

  At last night's game at the Pepsi Center between the Indiana Pacers and your Denver Nuggets, Carmelo Anthony suffered a significant injury to his hand -- a very bad thing. But before then, the 135-115 victory was a lot of fun, as I was able to document thanks to some great seats and a camera I got at Walmart. Check out a slideshow of the sights on court and off by clicking here. -- Michael Roberts

  When I ran into Daniel Young on New Year's Day, it sounded like the chef who'd brought us Diced Onions (its former home at 609 Corona Street is now occupied by Table 6), ran the Denver Press Club kitchen and also worked for Carmelo Anthony was still in the running to become the new White House executive chef. The transition team had been doing a background check just the week before, Young told me. But on Friday, the transition team confirmed to MSNBC that the Obama's will be

• Another day, another frustrating Nuggets win

  Yesterday's blog "George Karl Upset at Nuggets in Victory -- As Well He Should Be" applies just as much to last night's 114-113 Nugs win over the Oklahoma Thunder as it did to the previous evening's 104-96 escape from the depleted San Antonio Spurs with one notable exception -- Karl (pictured) didn't spend most of his post-game news conference lambasting his squad. That makes sense considering the closeness of the contest, which wound up in Denver's column thanks to a Carmelo Anthony bucket wi

• Overconfidence = kiss of death for Nuggets, fans

  A Flickr photoWill the Pepsi Center offer a real home-court advantage this year? Yesterday afternoon, Jim Armstrong and Sandy Clough were talking Denver Nuggets on FM 104.3/The Fan, and while the hosts kept the team's playoff chances in perspective, many of the callers weren't concentrating on the New Orleans Hornets, the Nugs' first-round opponents (who they meet for the first time on Sunday). Instead, they wanted to know if Carmelo Anthony and his mates had any chance in hell of beating the L

• On 4/20, the worst places to stash your stash

  This does not belong in your car. Ever. (See more such photos here). Despite the obvious enthusiasm for its legalization -- see today's rallies in Denver, Boulder, Santa Cruz and other hemp-friendly havens -- marijuana is still technically illegal. So it behooves us to consider that it might sometimes be advisable to, you know, hide it. Many have tried. And many have failed. So in the interest of public service, we provide this list of places where it's probably not a good idea to stash your he

• Why the Nuggets will win game four against the Hornets tonight

  Melo dresses up pretty nicely, doesn't he? Strangely, the Nuggets' 95-93 loss to the New Orleans Hornets on Saturday afternoon made me more, not less, optimistic that the team will take the series. My rationale: The Nugs blew a huge first quarter lead, as they've done innumerable times in recent years -- but instead of going quietly, they clawed their way back late in the fourth quarter and actually had a chance to win; Chris Paul can't play any better than he did during the game, and neither

• Watch Melo fiancée LaLa Vasquez lose her shit at last Mavs game

  What made LaLa Vasquez, the former MTV star who's Carmelo Anthony's fiancée, so unbelievably angry during the last Nuggets-Mavericks contest? She offers her explanation in the following statement: LaLa Vazquez became distressed during a heated playoff game, after being verbally attacked by some opposing fans, who were using racial slurs, calling her child crude names and throwing ice cubes. She sent her son home early and was preparing to leave herself when she was physically pushed. Althoug

• Nugget fans should wear allegiance on their sleeves

  The Nuggets lost by two points last night in a very close game. Why? Well, a big part of it was unusually poor free-throw shooting from Chauncey Billups and company. My suggestion, then, is that the rest of the team start wearing Carmelo Anthony's super-phresh shooting sleeve. You know, that sky-blue, nylon-looking thing that he, and Allen Iverson before him, wear around their arms. In fact, I think all the fans should start wearing them too. There are rally caps and rally monkeys. Why not a

  Carmelo Anthony would like to be able to buy more outfits like this one.​Larry Harmon, once one of Carmelo Anthony's key financial advisors, shares the same name as the late actor who portrayed Bozo the Clown. But neither he nor his client are laughing now. Earlier this week, Melo sued Harmon and a slew of others, alleging that they stole $2 million from him and then covered up the theft. These accusations contradict the image of Harmon presented in previous articles about him. A 2005 pro
