Anthony admits it has been difficult recently keeping his mind on basketball. He said he's "just waiting for it to happen." </div> Source

That's really not that young. My dad was 20 when he had me and he's been a good parent and raised me right.

Especially with Melo who is already immature for his age.

He's a basketball player who's making millions and is going to be able to support his kid. I was born when my parents were in their mid-twenties, and they raised me right. Hell, LeBron had a kid a year or two and he's almost 2 years younger than Melo.

I know that Wade has one though.
<div class="quote_poster">phunDamentalz Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">He does?? what the hell is he doing having kids at his young age....?</div> What other priorites might he have? He is financially stable, and is getting married. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">yeah I'm being serious. 23 is too young for a guy like him to be having kids. he's got a lot of maturing to do of his own most likely. many guys aren't able to really handle kids til they're 30 or so.</div> I don't understand what your basing your judgment on? Oh my bad, you must know Carmelo personally.
<div class="quote_poster">Carter Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Lebron? When did he get a kid? I know that Wade has one though.</div> LeBron's son is 2 years old now. I just found out he's expecting his second child in June. Read about it here: http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2007/03/lebron_james_on.html
I don't see any issue with the man missing a game to witness the birth of his child. That's obviously something though that some people can't learn to respect at a young age.
