Carmelo Anthony, who is regarding to celebrate his 39th birthday, announced the official hanging of his sneakers through a pre-recorded video without warning, which shocked many basketball fans. He has played in the NBA for 19 seasons, although he has never won a championship. He is definitely one of the top scoring players in history, and outside of the NBA battlefield, he has proved that he is not a champion insulator in college and international competitions, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the Hall of Fame in the future.
Anthony was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in an environment full of drugs and fights. His father died of illness when Anthony was 2 years old. His mother, Mary Anthony, worked very hard to raise 4 children by herself. For the youngest Anthony, Mary has special requirements on his academic performance, hoping that he can get a better future through education.
However, compared to schoolwork, Anthony, like the children who grew up with him at that time, chose to spend more time on the court. Day following day of actual street court combat, coupled with his extraordinary talent, made Anthony quickly become a little famous in the local area. Anthony is an avid basketball player, but it wasn’t until high school that Anthony really began to regard basketball as his career.
In his first year of high school, Anthony missed the chance to be selected for the school team. He was so devastated that he decided to devote more thought to pondering his skills, and his height soared by more than 10 centimeters during this period, so that he finally became famous in school and got more college scouts In the third year of high school, Anthony had already decided that he would join Syracuse University in the future, but in order to make his academic performance meet the standards, he transferred to Oak Hill Academy (Oak Hill Academy) in the senior year of high school. A very demanding private school, Anthony not only laid his academic foundation here, but also faced his future best friend LeBron James (LeBron James) for the first time on the court.
In February 2002, the battle between Oak Hill High School and St. Vincent Marley High School attracted more than 11,000 fans to watch the game. This is rare in American high school basketball games, because everyone knows that the number one star of the two teams will be in the future. Both will be in the NBA. This is also the first official match between Melo and LBJ. In the end, Anthony led the team to victory with 34 points and 11 rebounds. However, James also recorded superhuman data of 36 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 steals. The two also began to establish a Maji friendship from then on.
At that time, the NBA did not restrict high school graduates to participate in the draft. Although many people believed that Anthony had the strength to challenge the NBA by leapfrogging, he believed that he needed to accept the baptism of college basketball first, and fulfilled his promise to join Syracuse University before officially launching himself. college season.
Anthony’s performance did not disappoint everyone. In his freshman season, he averaged 22.1 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, including points, rebounds, playing time, shots and free throws. In the NCAA Championships, he went all the way through. When facing the University of Texas in the semi-finals, he first created the record of scoring 33 points in a single game in the history of the NCAA Championships. Syracuse University narrowly won by 3 points and won the first NCAA Championship Gold Cup in school history.
The blessing of the college championship will undoubtedly further consolidate Anthony’s road to the NBA. In 2003, he entered the draft together with LeBron and Dwyane Wade, and was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the third overall pick, officially launching his own NBA. career.
Anthony, who was only 19 years old at the time, did not take long to establish his position in the team. In his rookie season, he averaged 21.0 points per game, ranking first in the team, and helped the team advance to the playoffs in eight years. For the next six seasons, the Nuggets also became a regular team for the playoffs under the blessing of Anthony’s offensive power. However, except for the 2008-09 season, which reached the Western Conference Championship, the other years were round trips. , Started shouting to sell me, and was traded to the New York Knicks in the 2010-11 season, returning to his hometown where he grew up.
Returning home and the influence of New York, the largest city in the United States, of course brought Anthony more attention, and he did help Nick, who had been in the quagmire for many years, return to the playoffs stage, but just like in the past with the Nuggets, Anthony The playoffs have never been able to help the team reach its peak. More spotlights sometimes mean stronger backlash. Criticism of Anthony as a “team cancer” and “heavy offense and light defense” is increasing day by day.
At the end of his career, Anthony played for many teams. Under the influence of age and injuries, the scoring efficiency he was most proud of in the past gradually declined, especially in the modern basketball style that emphasizes more and more speed, and the defense is relatively passive. Anthony appeared to be more strenuous, which also forced him to transform into a point-grabbing machine to ambush the bench in the later stage. Even in the last season of his career, the 37-year-old Anthony was able to contribute 13.3 points quite efficiently in 26 minutes per game. .
Anthony, who has accumulated 28,289 points in his career, ranks 9th in history. He has never won a championship in his career, and he has never even played in a championship. As the kind of person who can’t win the championship, in addition to the NCAA championship, Anthony is also the first player in the history of the US Olympic men’s basketball team to win three gold medals.
Of course, Anthony was eager to use the NBA championship to perfect his basketball career, but perhaps as his retirement speech said: “For a person like me, as early as in the 2003 draft, David Stern and I (Former NBA Commissioner) The moment I shook hands, my life has been extremely successful. The championship ring is the only thing I didn’t get. It gives everything.”
