With the news of Carmelo Anthony’s retirement, it’s basically official that LeBron James will be the oldest player in the NBA next year.
Only two active players were older than Bron this season, and both have already announced their retirement: Andre Iguodala and Udonis Haslem. – 12:54 PM

When I covered Melo in OKC, I had to write from locker room postgame to get stories in for 10:30 deadline. So at like 10:27, Melo would come over and heckle me for fun. One time, he pointed at the screen and said “That sentence is trash.” Also, “You gotta type faster than that.” – 12:04 PM

Carmelo Anthony is a 100% sure-fire, first-ballot lock for the Hall of Fame.
Other stuff is up for debate (his place in the all-time hierarchy etc.), but if you don’t acknowledge that as a fact, you’re lost.

I always felt like I was the exact middle ground on the Carmelo takes. Obviously a unique and incredible player, obviously inefficient around the edges even at his very best. A Hall of Famer, but not a top 50 player, and that’s more than OK. – 10:52 AM

Carmelo Anthony was easily one of my favorite players to cover the past two decades. I always enjoyed his refreshing honesty, borderline delusional optimism & readiness to face the music when he failed. I wrote plenty on him but really enjoyed this one.
