Former NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony is slated to be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the 2025 class later this year. When Anthony takes his place in the Hall of Fame, he wants to have multiple legends present him at the ceremony.
During an appearance on the latest episode of “Podcast P with Paul George,” Anthony revealed that he plans to ask Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson and Dwyane Wade to all present him during his induction ceremony.
“I’m trying to do all three. You only get in once… My life was imapcted by more than one person, so I need three,” Anthony told George.
Anthony played with Iverson when the longtime Philadelphia 76ers star was traded to the Denver Nuggets during the 2006-07 season. The two ended up playing parts of three seasons together, forming a formidable duo in Denver. Anthony and Iverson reached the postseason in their first two seasons together, but the Nuggets lost in the first round in each of those two playoff appearances.
“You have [Iverson], who impacted my whole professional career. We all know the impact that [Iverson] had on us. We can relate to that — product of environments and still going out there and doing what you gotta do,” Anthony said.
All three players had a significant impact on Anthony’s career. Anthony played with and against both Iverson and Wade (in the Olympics), while Jordan served as a mentor for Anthony.
Anthony was a member of the star-studded 2003 NBA Draft class that also featured LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Wade. During his legendary career, Anthony put together averages of 22.5 points and 6.2 rebounds, while shooting 35.5% from three. His other accolades include being selected to 10 NBA All-Star Games, making six All-NBA Teams, being the 2013 NBA scoring champion, and being selected to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.

Cardinals’ Trey McBride wants TE market to continuously be reset: Examining next stars who could cash in
Getty Images Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs entered this offseason as the highest-paid tight end in the NFL, but two new players overtook his average annual value of $17.1 million over the last two months. Trey McBride of the Arizona Cardinals signed a four-year, $76 million extension in early April, then George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers came back around and signed a four-year, $76.4 million extension that made him the new highest-paid tight end in the league. McBride held the crown for a measly three weeks, but as it turns out, he's rooting for every tight end to cash in. It's good for the position, and good for his future as a 25-year-old player as well. "I think it was great that I had the title at one point and that was obviously a huge milestone for me and […]
