Ten-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony has been notified that he has been elected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025, sources tell ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Anthony, a six-time ALL-NBA selection, was drafted third overall by the Denver Nuggets in 2003, a draft that featured LeBron James going first to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dwyane Wade going fifth to the Miami Heat.
Anthony quickly developed into one of the league’s premier scorers, averaging 21 points per game over the course of his rookie season. He would go on to average 24.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists over eight seasons and 564 games for the Nuggets, which included a Western Conference finals loss to the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2008-09 season.
