NBA veteran Carmelo Anthony was one of the best players in the league during his time with the New York Knicks. While the trade from the Nuggets to the Knicks did work out wonderfully in Anthony’s career’s favor, it wreaked havoc in his personal life.

This was revealed by Anthony’s ex-wife La La Anthony. According to her, their marriage started falling apart when they started living under all the attention in New York.

Moreover, whenever Anthony traveled to different cities for away games, La La had sleepless nights. Interestingly enough, cities like Miami troubled La La the most.

The couple filed for a divorce last year after living in separation for quite some time. The two tied the knot in 2010 and they share a 15-year-old son.
