MILWAUKEE – In the aftermath of Dirk Nowitzki’s milestone achievement, Carmelo Anthony has set a goal of playing 20 seasons.
Nowitzki, the Mavericks star, entered the 30,000-point club Tuesday and has said he plans on playing one more season, making it an even 20.
Anthony, who is set to return to the Knicks lineup Wednesday against the Bucks after resting a sore left knee, wants to match the German forward’s longevity – which would give him a shot at 30,000 points, too.
Anthony, currently in his 14th NBA season, would be 38 — nearly 39 — if he plays six more seasons.
