VIDEO: Refs ignore Carmelo getting crushed under basket

Sam Sharpe-USA TODAY Sports

Having another player land right on top of you doesn't constitute a foul call these days.

Carmelo Anthony got crushed by Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams while under the basket on Tuesday night, which the nearby officials either missed entirely or simply decided not to blow the whistle on.

It would have been fitting had "Pomp and Circumstance" been playing in the background as Williams delivered a "Macho Man" Randy Savage-esque elbow drop on top of the New York Knicks All-Star.

Perhaps the referees would have noticed the play then.
