SAN FRANCISCO — Former Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony was named a finalist for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday — twice.
Anthony, 40, is among 16 individual finalists for the 2025 class, 10 of whom were players. He was also part of the 2008 U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team, nicknamed “The Redeem Team,” that was recognized as a finalist.
The new Hall of Fame class will be unveiled on April 5 at the NCAA Men’s Final Four.
Anthony played the first seven full years of his NBA career with the Nuggets, earning All-NBA honors four times in Denver before he was traded to the New York Knicks 50 games into his eighth season, in February 2011.
