Through the car window, Carmelo Anthony nonchalantly extended his hand to the boy for a handshake. The stunned youngster recoiled in the backseat with awe draping his face.

A special education teacher was jolted by the sight of Anthony as her jaws slacked.

Then there was the widow recounting her husband’s lost battle with cancer before exchanging good wishes.

Another car saw a family frantically waving and shouting “Welcome to Oklahoma City! We love you!” drawing a smile on Anthony’s face as the Brooklyn-born native returned with a wave and a thumbs up.

Between hearty handshakes and souvenir selfies, Anthony spent his Saturday loading trunk after trunk with boxes containing food, supplies, toys and books for local families in need at Feed the Children in Oklahoma City.
