Lookout world, Carmelo Anthony has a message for you, specifically Argentina, Lithuania and the other best basketball teams:

"We're guaranteeing a gold medal. We're bringing it back."

Coach Larry Brown when informed of Anthony's guarantee, said "That's just a young kid saying that, but as long as he respects the people we're playing against and understands how good they've got, I don't have any problem with that."

There haven't been any replies to the guarantee from any other world teams yet.

"I guess that's going to make the games more fun," Anthony said. "Right now, teams are not scared of us no more. Why not hype the games up? It's the Olympics. We're having fun, man. We've got to go over there and win."
