Carmelo Anthony stars in high fashion label Valentino's new advertising campaign, released this week. In it, he attempts to teach models the fundamentals of basketball — while they wear couture dresses, of course.

Though it's not typical (or advisable) for one to play basketball in high heels, this is fashion, baby! The black basketball, emblazoned with "VLTN," is just another chic touch to this totally improbable game of pickup b-ball. 

Athleticism — but then make it fashion! Melo taught them well.
