Female Tennis Player Coco Vandeweghe Calls Carmelo Anthony "Soft" After Winning Match at Wimbledon

There's a lot going on in this story, so try to stick with us…

Coco Vandeweghe is the niece of former NBA player/executive/coach Kiki Vandeweghe, the man responsible for drafting Carmelo Anthony for the Nuggets back in 2003. She's also a tennis player who won a match against Karolina Pliskova—the No. 11-ranked player in the world—at Wimbledon today. And following her match, she randomly decided to take a few shots at Carmelo while speaking with reporters.

"I just feel that Carmelo, he is a bit soft," she said. "And now, this is just my own personal opinion, I think he is soft. I don't think he has a killer instinct in his eyes, at least this last year. And I also think he needs people around him that have that killer instinct, because then that brings it out of you. And with him taking such a high salary, I think that kind of handcuffs the Knicks in being able to get those types of players that are getting big contracts. There's no way around that."

Wow.

Has it really come to this for Carmelo? If he needs motivation this summer, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to find it.
