MINNEAPOLIS — Carmelo Anthony is one step closer to the Hall of Fame.
The former Knick was among the first-time nominees announced Thursday for the 2025 Naismith class, joining another familiar face, Amar’e Stoudemire, as well as Dwight Howard and Marc Gasol.
Anthony, a Brooklyn native, is the lock of the NBA players in the class, sitting No. 10 on the all-time scoring list with over 28,000 points and 10 All-Star appearances.
Despite just 6 ½ seasons in New York, Anthony is No. 6 in scoring in Knicks history.
He is probably the best Knick since Patrick Ewing — at least until Jalen Brunson’s career is over — but never advanced past the second round of the playoffs with the franchise.
Anthony’s other great seasons were in Denver, where he was drafted third overall in 2003.
According to Front Office Sports, Anthony has been pushing for a TV analyst gig with the NBA’s new media deal taking effect next season and the integration of NBC and Amazon into the national games coverage.
Women’s basketball legends Sue Bird, a former Christ the King star in Queens, and Maya Moore were also nominated.
Two days after being bounced from the Big 12 women's basketball tournament in the second round, Arizona State has fired women's basketball coach Natasha Adair.
