DENVER — NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony was arrested early Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, hours after his worst game of the season.

The Denver Nuggets forward was arrested on Interstate 25, police said. He was alone in the car and pulled over for weaving and not dimming his lights.

Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests. He was charged with DUI and then taken to police headquarters before being released to a “sober responsible party,” Hahn said. Anthony is due in court May 14.

Mark Warkentien, the Nuggets’ vice president of basketball operations, said the team was aware of the situation but declined comment. The Nuggets did not practice Monday and Anthony wasn’t available. He’s expected at practice Tuesday.

Anthony’s attorney, Dan Recht, said his client consented to a blood test, but results won’t be available for about two weeks.

“Carmelo apologizes to his fans, the Denver community, his teammates and the Nuggets organization for the distraction this is causing them,” Recht said.

There really is no reason anyone should drive drunk, especially these guys who make enough money to pay for a cab or limo to get home. You may think you are lucid enough to navigate home, but a cab fare is a small price to pay compared to killing yourself or someone else.

Definitely a great idea for a commercial, but Kobe hinted that he did it with the help of Hollywood. I think it was very well done by the Nike marketing team. Hopefully no one is dumb enough to try it themselves because you could seriously harm yourself or die.
