New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony has conceded that the Chicago Bulls were the "perfect fit" for him this past summer in free agency.
Anthony ultimately opted to re-sign with the Knicks but he did visit the Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks before agreeing a new deal.
"It came down to Chicago and New York. Chicago was the one that, from day one, was something that I was very impressed with. They was looking for a person like me to come in and just take them to the next level," Anthony said in a documentary aired on MSG Network.
"So it was perfect. It was a perfect setup, perfect fit for me in Chicago. But then also I had to think about just living in Chicago. Do I want to live in Chicago? Do I want to take everything that I created in New York and move all of that? It came down to that."
Anthony also revealed that although it would have been great to play alongside Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, he felt he would be walking from one difficult situation.
