Carmelo Anthony has done just about everything an NBA player can do individually. He’s made six All-NBA teams, played in 10 All-Star games, and won a scoring title in 2012-13. He is currently 10th all-time in scoring in NBA history with 27,370 career points to his name, and will likely pass Moses Malone (27,409) early on during his first season with the Lakers.
Anthony has additionally won Olympic Gold Medals, and an NCAA Championship during his lone collegiate season. He may never have won an MVP award, but other than that, there is basically no level of basketball success that Anthony hasn’t achieved. The main thing missing from his resume is an NBA championship, which has often been perceived from the outside as the main reason he joined the Lakers.
“There’s nothing that I’m trying to prove. If I hadn’t picked L.A., I would have been at peace walking away from the game, knowing that I gave everything I could and I still couldn’t win a championship. I would have been at peace with that. I would have been good. But now that I’m with the Lakers, I can’t be at peace with not winning a championship (laughs).”
