Carmelo Anthony, who completed his illustrious career on the magical NBA courts in 2022, has already been notified that he will be inducted into the “Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame” class of 2025.

The 40-year-old American, selected No. 3 in the 2003 draft, has left a mark on the NBA, playing for 19 seasons with the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Los Angeles Lakers. He wrapped up a remarkable career with averages of 22.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists over 1,260 regular season games!

Moreover, he was named an All-Star 10 times, once was the NBA’s leading scorer, and won three Olympic gold medals with Team USA in as many Olympic Games.

It’s worth remembering that Carmelo was part of the Team USA squad that we “disappointed” in 2006, as he was a member of the team in the unforgettable semifinal in Saitama, where the Greek national basketball team defeated the U.S. with a 101-95 victory.
