VIDEO: Brook Lopez Blocks Carmelo Anthony's Layup and Follows With Wicked Staredown
By Chris Pyo
Welcome back to the league, Carmelo Anthony. After a year-long hiatus from the NBA, Melo made his triumphant return after latching on with the Portland Trail Blazers Wednesday night, scoring 10 points in 24 minutes of action. Tonight, he's facing off against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he's already matched his point total from yesterday going into halftime. But would've had two more if Brook Lopez hadn't come up with this feisty moment.

Just to really emphasize the lack of care he has for Melo's return to the court, the Bucks big man followed up that block with a mean staredown. Lopez is all business on the court, and isn't about to let a future Hall of Famer knock him off his grind.
