Carmelo Anthony is in the midst of a very strong 2021-22 NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Although he has been nursing a hamstring issue over the past couple of weeks, the 37-year-old has otherwise proven to be a bright spot for LA in an otherwise dreary year.
On the court Anthony is averaging 13.4 points per game on 54 percent shooting from the field and nearly 40 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Most impressively, he is doing his damage in just 26.5 minutes per outing.
Off the court, Anthony is doing quite well for himself as well.
In fact, according to reports, he had himself quite the Valentine’s Day.
According to WAGS Unfiltered, Anthony has two special friends – and he made sure to take care of both on Valentine’s Day. With the exact same gift.

When these photos went viral, one of the women involved immediately took her post down – seemingly corroborating the initial reports that both women got the gifts from the same man.
In any case, both of the ladies involved routinely go viral on Instagram, so clearly they’re doing fine. Their posts largely speak for themselves as well:

As for Anthony, he has had a crazy couple of years. Between his drama with La La and Kevin Durant’s weird role in that whole mess, it was just one headache after another.
Beyond that, there was an alleged extortion attempt and just all the general frustrations that come with being on a losing team.

Big picture, Anthony is having a stellar individual year in Los Angeles – and that’s great. But he came to the Lakers to win a title. And based on early returns, that’s likely not going to happen.
