Before he blacked out, the last thing Carmelo Anthony remembered was being booed by Oklahoma City fans as he lay on his back on the Ford Center floor.
"When I first fell I was (conscious) and then I just went out. I don`t remember anything but waking up and seeing a bunch of people," Anthony said.

While Carmelo was on the deck the Nuggets kept playing at the other end of the court, then J.R. Smith grabbed a rebound and steamed toward the basket, stepping right past the sprawled Anthony in the process. Anthony has no recollection of what happened from the time he hit the floor until he was walking off the court. He's only heard about it from teasing teammates and doesn't want to see a replay.
Those who watched the whole thing unfold still can't believe it.
"I couldn't believe J.R. would try to go for the layup," said Chauncey Billups, who was on the bench at the time. "I was like, 'Dude, are you serious? Call timeout man, you see the dude ain't move. What in the world are you thinking about?'"
"It says a lot about Melo to be laying out like that and come back in and hit two clutch free throws," Martin said.
Doesn't the play say a lot about J.R. Smith, he was asked.
"Yeah, whatever," Martin said.

With Anthony sprawled under the basket, the Thunder inbounded the ball and passed it upcourt, but it was stolen by Smith. The officials didn't hear Dantley calling a timeout and Smith didn't see Anthony, so Smith drove to the basket, nearly stepping on Anthony. Finally, the officials stopped play and trainer Jim Gillen darted onto the court. When Anthony hit the floor, he said he wasn't unconscious, but then said he was knocked out for a few moments. He said the last thing he remembered were the Oklahoma City fans booing him.
Anthony walked to the locker room, where team doctors assessed him and told him he had no signs of a concussion.
@ JR Smith not seeing him. He was pointing at Carmelo after being called for the travel.
