In some countries, it falls within Administrative Professionals' Week (the last full week of April in the United States).[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_Professionals%27_Day#cite_note-IAAP-1'][1][/URL] The day recognizes the work of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary']secretaries[/URL], administrative assistants, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptionist']receptionists[/URL], and other administrative support professionals.

Can he become a contributor on a championship team? Of course! With the right coaching and players, Anthony would be a fantastic 3rd or 4th option. I’d love to see him on the Clippers in that role, or the Celtics somehow next year. But even if he does get to enjoy the postseason again after a four year hiatus, he will no longer the best former Syracuse Orange in the NBA. Is that possible? Unfortunately so. Hey, he had a great, 14 year-run. In fact, during his first 14 seasons Carmelo obviously led the NBA among ex-Cuse players in scoring, minutes, rebounding, etc, but he also led them almost every season in all of the advanced metrics. Stat-nerds loved VORP (Value Over Replaced Player), PER (Player Efficiency Rating), and WS (Win Shares) as true indicators of a player’s performance and standing amongst his peers. For 14 years Carmelo had the most Win Shares among all ex-Cuse guys, and it hasn’t been close since his second season. In 13 out of his 14 seasons, he led the Orange alum in VORP and PER, with only Jason Hart outperforming him back in 2004-2005 (Melo’s second year) by slim margins in both categories. At this point, it might be fair to ask how I can claim Melo will not be the best of the former Boeheim disciples next season. Well, his numbers have been on a steady decline over the past four (non-playoff) seasons.[/I] ... [B][MEDIA=facebook]1870167803009053[/MEDIA] [/B] [I]After testing the NBA Draft waters, B.J.
