It’s just been a little over a month but the Knicks finally threw Carmelo an official “Welcome to New York” party at Abe & Arthur’s after the unveiling of his new Boost mobile billboard on 33rd and Ninth ave (about 2 blocks from The Garden) .
Sources said the team booked a private room for the 75-person bash and ordered a three-tier cake decorated with Melo’s jersey, yellow taxi cabs and the New York skyline.
Also on hand for the occasion was Lala’s BFF Ciara and as I suspected, more details are emerging about the “friendship” she and Amar’e have developed:
One spy said Ciara and Amar’e had dinner at STK alone together two weeks ago, when Amar’e was overheard asking for a private table as they arrived. They’ve also been spotted at The Collective.
Courtside seats are prime real estate, Cici has been missing from the top of the charts and the tour circuit. She, Lala and Kim can have their own New york Basketball Wives style pow wows on the new season of Lala’s show… CLEARLY :giggles:
I’m just glad she held out for a legitimate star, Brandon Jennings and JR Smith are just two of the names I heard that attempted to woo Ciara in the past. Random side note, Lala’s trench is giving me fever! I LOVE IT (the gloves too)
