Carmelo Anthony recently hosted a Facebook chat with “Got Chocolate Milk?” while training with Team USA in Las Vegas. The 5x NBA All-Star dished on the Knicks, staying in shape, and the Olympic games:

On what the Knicks need to be a contender:

“We got to get guys back healthy. I believe in the team that we have with the additions of Jason Kidd, hopefully getting the Jeremy Lin thing done. Novak, Amare, Tyson… We have a very deep team, we just have to make it work.”

On the Knicks’ offseason moves:

“I think bringing Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby will definitely help us in our journey to get to a championship. Hopefully we can re-sign Jeremy Lin. We’re making great strides and it’s just a matter of us coming together and willing to do what it takes to win.”

On how he stays in shape:

“I changed my diet up, my workout routine. I’m doing lot more of different type of workouts. I go on track and field, boxing and, of course, basketball. I’m in a gym from 8 to 12. That’s normally my workout time. I go to the track, I get back on the court, I lift weights in a full hour time period, and I have the rest of my day off after that.”

“I try to get at least three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a light snack in between, especially right now when I’m getting ready for the Olympics. But sometimes, when I take time off you have ‘cheat days’. Maybe in the middle of the week or on Sundays. I use to take my son and my family to eat pizza on Sundays. You’re allowed to one cheat day.

On his goals:

“I want to win an NBA championship. I have one in high school, I have one in college, I have a gold medal. The only thing left is an NBA championship.”
