Former Syracuse basketball legend Carmelo Anthony, who is set to turn 39 soon, has retired from professional hoops, he said in a touching video on his Twitter page.
Melo, as all of us Orange fans out there love to call him, may not have won an NBA title in his 19 years in the league – in fact, he never reached the NBA Finals, making the Western Conference Finals once over his long pro career that saw him suit up for numerous teams, most recently the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2021-22 season.
