Carmelo Anthony Hangs With A Panda Like A Boss

"PANDA-MONIUM" (via Carmelo's Twitter)

With the NBA currently in a lockout that is threatening to derail the entire 2011-2012 season, many players have begun discussing the possibility of playing overseas in the interim. Amare Stoudemire said he had already been approached by teams from Israel, China, Turkey, and Spain. But it seems another Knick has beaten Stat to China, and he loves hanging out with pandas.

Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony is on a promotional tour of China with fellow NBA star (and future Knick?) Chris Paul, and took some time out to go hang out with some panda bears. As one Gothamist writer enthused, "he looks like he's trying to be smug to cover up the childlike glee he's feeling." And who could blame him? Everyone knows pandas are the best.

But here's the question: whose panda shot is better? Anthony's, Kevin Durant's, or Shaq's?

Even that panda knows the Knicks should have given Donnie Walsh a contract extension.
