NY Knicks star Carmelo Anthony have some things to say to the referees as he believes he's not getting the right calls he deserves this season.
According to ESPN.com, the 12-year veteran is starting to get frustrated with the officiating as he feels that his hard work is not reciprocated accordingly.
"I always get fouled," Anthony said. "That's what's frustrating me. You play so hard, work so hard and don't benefit from that. You look at other guys -- you touch them and look at them wrong and get fouls. It's a frustrating thing for me as a guy who likes to go to the basket, play in the paint. I like to play physical. It's frustrating."
"I'm human," Anthony added. "Those frustrations kick in at times, especially when you're down there banging and know you're getting banged on," added Anthony, who received a technical for arguing with a referee over a non-call on Monday. "I don't know what else to do. I don't know how to play another way."
"They just tell me I'm the most difficult player to referee in the NBA," Anthony shared. "I've heard that a couple of times," he told reporters. "It's unclear on who is creating the contact. My goal is to go to the basket. If I'm creating the contact going toward the basket [and] I get hit, it's a foul.''
Aside from the officiating, Anthony has also expressed his frustration with the team's recent struggles. As per bleacherreport.com, Anthony spoke about the Knicks' disappointing losses which has led them to a 10-12 record.
"Losing is frustrating," Anthony said. "I don't want this to be an ongoing situation or an ongoing feeling where we have to come into the locker room and explain why we're losing basketball games. Things that happened on the court, I probably thought should've went my way. That can be frustrating at times. It seems like it's just starting to become repetitive now."
He then added "I just don't like losing. I don't want to get used to that feeling, coming in the locker room every day and have to explain why we're losing basketball games. That's a feeling that I don't want to get used to."
