Report: Carmelo Anthony elected to Hall of Fame

carmelo anthony 2023

Carmelo Anthony has been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on the first ballot, ESPN reported Wednesday.

An NCAA champion at Syracuse, a 10-time NBA All-Star with the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks, and a three-time Olympic gold medalist with Team USA, Anthony retired following the 2021-22 season.

Anthony was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by Denver, a couple of months after leading the Orange to the NCAA Tournament title as a freshman sensation.

He made four All-Star teams with the Nuggets before joining the Knicks in a blockbuster trade in February 2011.

Energized by a return to his hometown of New York City, Anthony earned six consecutive All-Star nods from 2011-12 through 2016-17. He won a scoring title with 28.7 points per game in 2012-13.

Anthony finished out his 19-year career with Oklahoma City (2017-18), Houston (2018-19), Portland (2019-21) and the Los Angeles Lakers (2021-22), retiring with averages of 22.5 points and 6.2 rebounds in 1,260 games (1,120 starts). He made six All-NBA teams and was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.

Anthony, now 40 years old, currently ranks 12th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list with 28,289 points.

The 6-foot-7 forward won gold medals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing (2008), London (2012) and Rio de Janeiro (2016) as well as a bronze medal in Athens (2004).
