Melo exacts revenge on Wizards' Dudley for 'overrated' smack talk

Back in May, Washington Wizards forward Jared Dudley said some things about New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony.

The gist of Dudley's jabs: the eight-time All-Star is overrated.

Although Dudley - then a member of the Milwaukee Bucks - later backtracked on his less-than-flattering remarks, Anthony didn't forget the incident leading into Saturday's head-to-head matchup between the Knicks and Wizards.

Anthony caught fire with Dudley trying to defend him throughout the game, finishing with 37 points, seven rebounds, and four assists.

The Knicks pulled out the 117-110 victory with Anthony playing an integral role in putting away the Wizards for good.

For those who are keeping score at home, that's Melo 1 - Dudley 0.
