NBA Career
In a talent-heavy draft that featured LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, nicknamed "Melo," was picked third overall by the Denver Nuggets. There was little change period for the young player.
Throughout his 2003-04 rookie seasons, the 19-year-old Anthony was named to the All-Rookie group, balancing 21 points and six rebounds per game.
Over the course of his pro occupation, the 6'8" forward has actually proven to be among the game's wonderful scorers. In 2007 he was tapped to play in his first All-Star game, and in the occurring years has made a number of additional All-Star groups. On December 10, 2008, in a game against Minnesota, Anthony tied an NBA record when he scored 33 points in a single quarter.
While the Nuggets took pleasure in a fair level of success with Anthony as the franchise's leading player, the club never ever became the perennial contender that club officials had hoped. In the middle of the 2011 season, Denver shipped Anthony to the New York Knicks in a three-team megatrade.
The step delighted Anthony, who’d longed to go back to his native New York, and Knick followers. In New York, Anthony has continued his run as one of the NBA's many prolific scorers and helped revitalize a franchise that has gone more than 4 decades without an NBA title.
