The New York Knicks haven’t won an NBA championship since 1973. The future of the franchise may be Kristaps Porzingis, but the current leader of the push to end that drought is small forward Carmelo Anthony.
For as brilliant and decorated a player as Anthony may be, he’s endured a seemingly endless supply of criticism for having never won a title.
Anthony came under fire this past summer for saying that he’d still view his career as a success if he failed to win an NBA championship. The comments followed Anthony becoming the first male basketball player to win three Olympic gold medals.
