Despite Lebron James willingness to team up with Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul to form a super team to play together in the future, Carmeolo Anothy has different idea.

"Don't put me in it. I ain't jumping in that. Don't put me in that right now. I'm not answering that question about what we talked about," Wade shared to ESPN after recent reports of LeBron James stating that he wants to team up with his friends in the future.

It's certain that Carmelo wants to bring the ring to the Knicks team without Lebron James help.

"I came here for a reason, which was to win in New York. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case thus far, but I feel like I have unfinished business to take care of," Anthony added.

"And I feel like, I don't know, maybe it's just me, if I just get up and run away from something that I started, that I feel a part of and that's not done yet, then I think I would carry that burden on my shoulders. That's just me as an individual."

Lebron recently mentioned "I really hope that, before our career is over, we can all play together," James told Bleacher Report's Howard Beck. "At least one, maybe one or two seasons - me, Melo, D-Wade, CP. .. I would actually take a pay cut to do that."

Since entering the NBA, Anthony has been named an All-Star nine times and an All-NBA Team member six times.
