Monday Matters #5


In this article by Stephen A. Smith, he writes his opinion on Carmelo Anthony's next move. With his contract for the New York Knicks up, he is faced with many options. However, in Smith's opinion his only logical two options are Miami or back to New York. In New York he is being offered a $129 million contract, which is substantially higher than anywhere. In contrast, if he were to move to Miami, the Heat would be an unstoppable force, giving Melo his desperately desired ring.

It seems that Smith is directing this opinion to the general public, but also to Carmelo himself. In this article Stephen A. Smith is using logos. Throughout the essay, he gives logical reasons on why Miami or New York are Carmelo's best (only) options. He does this to both persuade Melo into a decision, but also to inform the public on Anthony's current position. This pushes Carmelo to take action, but also appeases the public on their questions regarding Carmelo Anthony.
