Anthony was among 17 Hall of Fame finalists who were announced in February. While the new Hall of Famers from that group won’t be formally revealed until this Saturday (April 5) at the NCAA Final Four, Charania’s report indicates Anthony will be among them. The third overall pick in the 2003 draft, Anthony appeared in 1,260 regular season NBA games across 19 seasons in the league, averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per contest, with a shooting line of .447/.355/.814. He spent his first six-and-a-half professional seasons with Denver before being traded to New York, where he played from 2010-17. After playing his prime years with the Nuggets and Knicks, Anthony spent time with the Thunder, Rockets, Trail Blazers and Lakers from 2017-22 before calling it a career. The 6’7" forward was named an All-Star 10 times over the course of his career and earned six All-NBA nods (two Second Team and four Third Team). Anthony also led the league in scoring in 2012-13, ranks 12th on the all-time points list and was named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary team. In addition to his NBA accomplishments, Anthony made an impact in NCAA and international competition. He won a national championship during his first and only college season with Syracuse in 2002-03 and brought home three Olympic medals for Team USA. Anthony was widely lauded for how he adjusted to the FIBA game and was a valuable contributor to the U.S. teams that won gold in Beijing (2008), London (2012) and Rio (2016). Anthony, who announced his retirement in 2023, is one of many former NBA players who have taken to podcasting and currently puts out weekly episodes of his "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast. Anthony said in the latest episode of "7PM in Brooklyn" that he has interest in joining an NBA ownership group, specifically naming the Wizards as a team he’d like to get involved with. “Former player. I understand players. I understand personnel, I understand being fatigued,” Anthony said (hat tip to Paul Kasabian of Bleacher Report). “I understand how to build teams, but I also understand what I don’t understand. I know what I don’t know. You also have to put people in those positions. President, GM, you put all the basketball acumen in those positions, and then you cover that with business model.”
