Carmelo Anthony says refusal to flop hurts him with refs

Carmelo Anthony is frustrated by the lack of respect he's getting from referees - maybe also baffled - but the Knicks star said he won't resort to flopping.

Two days after he picked up a technical for arguing about a non-call from Lauren Holtkamp, Anthony vented about the circumstances while revealing the common explanation from officials, "that I'm the most difficult player to referee in the NBA."

"I always get fouled. That's what frustrating me. You play so hard, work so hard, then you don't benefit from that. Then you kind of look at other guys and you touch them, you look at them wrong, you get fouls," Anthony said.
