He played 19 seasons in the NBA — notably for the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks — and made 10 All-Star teams, six All-NBA first-teams and won three gold and one bronze Olympic medals. Anthony also landed on the NBA's all-time 75th anniversary team and ranks ninth all-time in points scored.

Anthony's legendary basketball career began in college when he won the NCAA national championship during his freshman year at Syracuse in 2003. The Nuggets drafted Anthony third overall and he immediately burst onto the NBA scene, scoring 21 points per game in his rookie year. Anthony lost the Rookie of the Year battle with LeBron James that year.

Anthony led the Nuggets to the playoffs every season he played in Denver from 2003-2010. He averaged 24.8 points per game and 6.3 rebounds per game during those seven seasons with four All-Star nods. Denver reached the Western Conference Finals in 2009 behind Anthony's 27.2 points per game but fell to the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers.

He couldn't stop my wife from scoring 15, and she's 5'2".
Also, his court vision wouldn't be worse if he wore blinders.
Excellent scorer, but the talk yesterday about him being a first ballot hall of famer is ridiculous.
