Syracuse Basketball: Carmelo Anthony finding his groove in Rip City

One of the greatest Syracuse basketball players of all time made his return to the hardwood. Carmelo Anthony finds himself No.19 in NBA history among leading scorers. The prolific scoring threat made his debut for the Portland Trailblazers on Tuesday.

After moving around from OKC to Houston, Anthony was out of the NBA for an extended period, but now he calls Portland home. In Melo’s return, his squad faced off against the New Orleans Pelicans.

In his return, Carmelo had some ups and downs, but overall he was glad to be back competing at the highest level.
