Memo To Walmart: Carmelo Anthony Isn't Jeremy Lin

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Let's hope grandma knows her basketball.

Kiddos with Carmelo Anthony dolls on their wish lists could be in for a surprise thanks to Walmart, which until recently was selling a plush Melo figure on its website that looked an awful lot like Jeremy Lin.

The same Jeremy Lin who hasn't played for the New York Knicks since 2012.

And who is "Anthony Carmelo"?

Our review: Not a great deal at $13.88.

A tip for the bargain-hunting holiday shoppers out there -- here's what the Melo plush actually looks like, via Amazon.com:
