NBA Conduct Rules #451 and #452

Rule #451: Never associate with people named "Slim".

One of Carmelo Anthony's friends flew to Denver Thursday to claim responsibility for the marijuana found last week in the Nuggets star's carry-on bag and to attempt to clear Anthony's name.

"I want to apologize not only to Melo but to the city of Denver," said James "Slim" Cunningham, 28. "It was my foolish mistake and it's a shame Melo had to get a smudge on his name for what I did."

Rule #452: Never says things like "Damn, it's not a murder case."

Also Thursday, about 45 minutes before tip-off in a preseason game in Los Angeles, Anthony read a statement expressing his regret over the incident.

Before reading the statement, Anthony, surprised at the number of reporters in the room, muttered, "Damn, it's not a murder case."
