Carmelo Anthony Shoes
From LoveToKnow Shoes
Carmelo Anthony shoes pay homage to one of the greatest stars on the National Basketball Association's Denver Nuggets team.
History of Carmelo Anthony Shoes
Carmelo Anthony, hailing from Brooklyn, New York, began his superstar career at Syracuse University. There he led his team to their first NCAA championship in 2003. His one season with Syracuse awesomely showcased his talent as a big-scoring clutch player, and he quickly made the leap into the professional NBA arena.
Scooped up, and picked third only to LeBron James and Serbian center Darko Milick, he began his career with the then league worst, the Denver Nuggets. After just one short season with their ailing talent, Carmelo Anthony helped the Nuggets to become a playoff team.
Despite some minor hiccups in conduct, Carmelo Anthony has proven himself to be worthy of the hype, and is widely expected to have a long and illustrious career in the NBA.
