Carmelo Anthony explains why he chose to wear No. 00 for the Trail Blazers

Look no further Melo stans, because your man has finally signed to an NBA organization. After his exile from the Houston Rockets last November, Carmelo Anthony is finally back on the court.

This past weekend, Anthony signed with the Portland Trail Blazers, who sit in 12th place in the Western Conference at 5-9. It’s a one-year, non-guaranteed deal, the first non-guaranteed contract Melo has signed in his entire career. He’ll no longer be sporting No. 7 though. Anthony has decided to wear No. 00 and took to his Instagram this week to explain why.
