As NBC prepares to welcome back the NBA for the first time in more than two decades, the network is bringing on a decorated analyst. Carmelo Anthony, a 10-time NBA All-Star and a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, will join NBC Sports’ coverage of the league starting next season, the network announced Saturday.
Anthony confirmed the news on social media with a video of highlights, both from Anthony’s career and from NBA on NBC over the years.
Anthony’s new role was introduced during NBC’s coverage of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, with the former forward saying that he was excited to be “getting back into a team-oriented” environment.

“Talking the game, speaking the game. Figuring out what’s the ‘why,'” Anthony said when asked what he was most looking forward to about the gig. “The game within the game needs to be talked about.”
Anthony spent 19 years in the NBA, building up a decorated career on several different teams, though he is best know for his time with the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks. Anthony also earned three Olympic gold medals and a bronze medal as a member of the U.S. men’s basketball team.
He retired in 2022, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in the first year that he was eligible.

MLB playoffs 2025: Aaron Judge did his part, but the New York Yankees, once again, failed to win the World Series
NEW YORK — Statistically speaking, Aaron Judge had a nice day.In Game 4 of the ALDS, he went 2-for-4 with an intentional walk. His two outs were a strikeout and a 112-mph liner smoked right at the second baseman. He made a few nice plays in the field. Judge did not send one flying to the heavens — not every day is Christmas — but it was a productive trip to the office.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementYet he finished the evening in the same scattered fashion he has finished every year of his career. Disappointed, downtrodden, his eyes puffy and distant with the remnants of tears, his words low and tired. Once more, Judge’s Yankees did not win the World Series. The “October in the Bronx” dream is dead yet again.[Get more New York news: Yankees team feed]And as the current face of this […]

MLB playoffs 2025: The Phillies won a must-win game. Did the Dodgers lose one, too?
LOS ANGELES — However this NLDS plays out — whether the Los Angeles Dodgers hold on or the Philadelphia Phillies stage the comeback of these playoffs — many will point to Kyle Schwarber's 455-foot home run that hurtled through the air and over the right-field pavilion of Dodger Stadium as the turning point.Phillies manager Rob Thomson certainly did after the game, telling reporters the blast "sort of woke everybody up and got a lot of energy going in the dugout."It was an enormous home run, yes, one that seemed to fully break the Phillies out of a malaise that had so far cost them two games in the series. However, Schwarber went on to hit a second, less numerically impressive homer, and that one might be just as important because it might as well have gone on the Game 4 […]
