Carmelo Anthony's Retirement Leaves Legacy on and off the Court

Carmelo Anthony, the star forward who led Syracuse to an NCAA championship in his lone college season and spent 19 years in the NBA, announced his retirement as the No. 9 scorer in league history. Anthony, who was not in the NBA this season, retires as a 10-time All-Star, a past scoring champion, and a six-time All-NBA selection. He helped the U.S. win Olympic gold three times and was selected as one of the 75 greatest players in NBA history. Anthony will remain part of international basketball as one of the ambassadors to the Basketball World Cup, FIBA’s biggest event, which will be held this summer in the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia.
