Born on May 29, 1984, Carmelo Anthony attended college at Syracuse and currently plays for the NBA’s Denver Nuggets. As a freshman in college, he was named Second-Team All America by the Associated Press. Anthony led the team to the school’s inaugural NCAA Championship in men’s basketball.

Carmelo Anthony began his professional basketball career in 2003 after being drafted third by the Denver Nuggets. During an outstanding rookie season, Anthony played in all 82 seasonal games and averaged 21 points per game. He received a unanimous vote for the NBA All-Rookie First Team and became the first NBA rookie to lead a playoff team in scoring since the 1989-1990 season. In 2004, he won a bronze medal as a member of Team USA during the 2004 Summer Olympics.
During the 2004-2005 season, Carmelo Anthony played and started in 75 games and averaged 20.8 points. In late December, he missed five games due to a sprained ankle, first one the left and another on the right. Earlier that month, he scored the 2,000th point of his career and became the third youngest player in NBA history to reach that milestone. During the 2005-2006 season, Carmelo Anthony averaged an impressive 26.5 points per game, 4.90 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
Off of the court, Carmelo Anthony has shown his dedication extends well beyond basketball as he believes in giving back to the community. In an effort to aid in the Asian Tsunami relief efforts, Carmelo Anthony agreed to donate $1,000.00 for every point scored against San Antonio during a January 8, 2005 game and also against Houston on January 9, 2005. When all was said and done, that donation totaled $35,000.00. In addition, he hosted ‘A Very Melo Christmas,’ which brought joy to hundreds of children who participated in a festive holiday party.
