Some of Melo’s Best with the Brand
Melo was a bucket. 10th in all-time points scored, Carmelo Anthony was a flat-out scorer. He could get you any way he wanted – an offensive arsenal with so much variety, one of the best one-on-one scorers the game has ever seen. Anthony was something of a throwback, or maybe more like a holdover, from an era that valued true hooping above all else.
Melo is a legend. Two decades in the limelight, from one of the greatest March Madness runs in college basketball history to an electrifying start to his career in Denver, to lighting up the Garden with some magical performances, Carmelo Anthony’s legacy is unquestioned. Today, his podcast, 7PM in Brooklyn, is one of the hottest in sports and entertainment and should ensure his continued status as a public figure and basketball pundit. Let’s take a look at some of the very best Carmelo Anthony cards from Topps.
