Remember former New York Knicks wing and Team USA legend Carmelo Anthony? Well, turns out the blossoming podcaster known as Melo would rather keep their three gold medals instead of flipping those for an alternative career path in which he would have won an NBA championship.
That’s what Anthony told Donatas Urbonas of BasketNews during an interview published on August 9. Urbonas asked Melo if he would trade his three Olympic gold medals for an NBA ring, and Melo’s answer made it clear he’s truly committed to winning medals for Team USA over adding Larry O’Bs to the shelves of this or that franchise.
