Team USA had a day off yesterday and Carmelo Anthony decided to do some tourism in the city of Rio. But instead of any luxurious area, he chose to visit the slum neighborhoods of the favelas.

“I watched ‘City of God’ almost 100 times, and it’s very, very accurate,” he said to USA Today. “It was one of them.”

The New York Knicks forward and top Olympic scorer of team USA apparently enjoyed himself. “What most people call creepy scary and spooky, I call comfy, cozy and home.”, he wrote in his Instagram profile.

“I discovered that what most people call creepy, scary, and spooky, I call comfy, cozy, and home”. #ADayAndALifeInTheFavelas #StayMe7o
