LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony have been close friends for years now. Wednesday night, their two teams face off.

At the start of the year, it seemed like an absolute guarantee: The Cavs would wax the floor with the Knicks, who were coming off a 17-win season. Even though New York actually beat Cleveland in its opener last season, there just seemed like no way. But the Knicks have been better than many expected, racking up a 2-2 record and putting up competitive performances against the Hawks and Spurs in their two losses.

Now, the day of the big game, LeBron says his good friend, Carmelo, is excited about what's going on with the Knicks. 

From Marc Berman of the New York Post:

The Knicks added some big pieces this summer and are playing like a team vying for a No. 8 seed.
