STAY MELO: Carmelo in San Juan's Toughest Slum & The Knicks In Puerto Rico

We spent the day training with a group of Knicks and seeing the stadium that will house Melo's Puerto Rico FC NASL team.

To most, Puerto Rico is currently an island in economic decline. But to Carmelo Anthony it's a place of family, opportunity and a growing sports culture. With both seasons around the corner, we spent a few days training with a group of Knicks (including rookies Kristaps Porzingis and Jerian Grant) and seeing the stadium that will house Melo's Puerto Rico FC NASL team. We took a trip to La Perla, one of PR's most notorious hoods, to hang out with reggaeton legend Tempo, fresh out of prison after a 12 year bid.
