Have you been to Walmart recently and noticed a rather odd looking Carmelo Anthony doll? Or should I say ‘Anthony Carmelo’ doll? If so, you’re not alone as multiple people have spotted the unique looking plush on store shelves in addition to being sold online.

It appears the doll is licensed by the NBA, which probably isn’t a good thing considering that not only is the doll incorectly named but the New York Knicks All-Star certainly looks a lot like Jeremy Lin of the Los Angeles Lakers.

I’m venturing to guess this Carmelo Anthony doll will quickly be yanked off the website and replaced by the proper version, though that’s a pretty bad whiff on the part of Walmart.
