Carmelo Anthony caught some heat for saying winning three Olympic gold medals - and no NBA championships - is enough to render his career "great."

It seems Anthony didn't take the criticism too well, but luckily for him, he has a level-headed friend in LeBron James.

On Friday, the New York Knicks star posted a photo on Instagram quoting a conversation he had with the Cleveland Cavaliers icon, who convinced him to remain calm.

Leave it to LeBron to get Melo to stay mellow.
