"Keep Me Alive" - Carmelo Anthony Jokingly Admits Hairline Insecurity While Picking Winner of Hilarious Award Featuring Jaylen Brown and Kevin Durant

Carmelo Anthony had a hilarious confession regarding his hairline on the latest episode of his podcast. Anthony brought up the subject as part of an award about "coming home," which is slang for shaving a balding hair. Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics and Kevin Durant of the Houston Rockets were two of the nominees.

On the year-end edition of the "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast, Anthony and his co-hosts, The Kid Mero and Kazeem Famuyide, were joined by guest KevOnStage for the third annual 7PMMYs. One of the awards was the "Come Home Award" for the person who needs to shave his head.

But before going through the nominees, Anthony shared how he's praying and taking care of his hairline every day.

"I pray and pray every day," Anthony said. "I wake up, and I go to sleep, 'Almighty.' Listen, I take care of it. This is like the soil. When you're blessing the soil, you're blessing this soil right here. Keep me alive, baby."

As Carmelo Anthony and his crew laughed, The Kid Mero announced the nominees for the "Come Home Award." The first two were Jaylen Brown for leaving stains on players early in the season and Kevin Durant for his bald spot that has gone viral repeatedly.

The other two nominees were legendary singers Stevie Wonder and Jermaine Jackson. Wonder for rocking dreads despite not having a lot of hair on top and Jackson for whatever he had on his head earlier this month in a rare public appearance.

Despite some tough competition, Jermaine pulled off the win since his hair was more talked about than the big news of his brother, Michael Jackson, getting a museum built in Monaco.

The New York Knicks won their hardware since the 1973 NBA championship last week when they beat the San Antonio Spurs to lift the 2025 Emirates NBA Cup. The Knicks celebrated the victory, but they also announced that they are not going to put a banner for the accomplishment.

In an appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, Carmelo Anthony disagreed with the Knicks' decision.

"I think you have to appreciate this moment," Anthony said, according to ClutchPoints. "Like, let's appreciate all the wins that we have, that we come across, because years from now, this in-season tournament, this Cup will be major. It will be a major part of the NBA."

The NBA Cup was introduced in 2023, with the LA Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks being the first two winners.
