New York Knicks scoring superstar Carmelo Anthony has made yet another clutch play, nabbing a posh apartment at the swanky 1212 Fifth Avenue for $29,000 a month, the New York Post reported. 

Anthony and his recently-reconciled actress wife La La signed a deal last week for a 4,022-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom apartment at the building, which is located at 102nd Street, sources told the Post. The apartment boasts a private elevator entrance and a marble bathroom with heated floors. It is owned by Bank of America executive Fares Noujaim, who purchased it for $6.1 million.
