Carmelo Anthony is a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
The basketball world knew that the Brooklyn-born former Knicks star wouldn’t have to wait long to add his name to the list of the game’s immortals.
Confirmation came Wednesday when ESPN’s NBA insider Shams Charania revealed that the 10-time NBA All-Star has been notified he’s been elected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025.
Anthony, a six-time All-NBA selection and 2003 All-Rookie Team selection, is elected to the Hall of Fame after a career that included 19 NBA seasons in which he averaged 22.
