Is Carmelo Anthony A Hall of Famer?

There are also a number of WNBA legends, such as Sue Bird, Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles on the ballot.

Anthony's basketball legacy comes from before his time in the NBA. Anthony was just the third freshman in history to be named the NCAA tournament's Most Outstanding Player, following in the footsteps of Utah's Arnie Ferrin in 1944 and Louisville's Pervis Ellison in 1986.

Anthony led the Syracuse Orange to the 2003 National Championship, the school's only such title. His heroics in the tournament (including averageing 24.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game over the tournament's final three games), led to him being the third overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft.

Anthony spent the first seven-and-a-half years of his career with the Denver Nuggets, being named to four All-Star teams before being traded to the Knicks. 

Anthony was named an All-Star in each of his seven Knicks' seasons. Anthony is most fondly remembered for his 2013 season where he led the NBA in scoring, averaging 28.7 points per game, helping lead the Knicks to the second round for the first time in 13 years - a feat that would take the Knicks another 10 to match.

Anthony is the franchise's seventh-leading scorer with 10,186 and is third in franchise history in three-point field goals (762).

After the Knicks, Anthony had short stints in Oklahoma City, Houston, Portland and Los Angeles. Anthony retired with 28,289 points, currently the 10th most in NBA history, 12th with ABA points included. 

Anthony is also one of the greatest Olympic performers of all time, owning three gold medals over four Olympic Games, Anthony has scored 336 points in his 31 Olympic matches.

The 10-time All Star, six-time All-NBA and 75th Anniversary Team member is all but a lock for the Hall of Fame, with a loaded resume and fond reverence among fans.
