Dever Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony has just marked his promising career with a weekly MVP on Friday as he spearheaded Nuggets to a 5-0 season opening. Averaging 32 points per game, Athony is playing at a frighteningly high level.

Reflecting all the way back to his days in Baltimore gyms, Anthony said he's never felt this good to start a season.

"But really, it started in the off season. I was telling people all summer that I was feeling great about this season coming up," Anthony said. "So far so good after second game against Portland.

"I know it's only two games, but two heck-of-a-games. It's mental. I wanted to challenge myself mentally to pick up where I left off last year, and I feel that I'm doing that."

After five flawless games, Anthony feels just right.

Anthony was the 3rd pick of the 2003 NBA draft by the Nuggets, behind LeBron James and Darko Millicic.

In his rookie season he turned the Denver Nuggets from a mediocre team to a playoff one. He lead the team in scoring with 21.0 points per game and is the only second player in history to lead his team in scoring as a rookie since David Robinson of San Antonio Spurs during the 1989-1990 season.
