New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony has an opportunity to achieve something that no player ever has. Thus, while many have questioned his decision to play for Team USA, the pursuit of history is too grand to pass up.
Anthony and Team USA began the pursuit of history on Friday, July 22 with a 111-74 victory over Argentina in an exhibition game.
The Americans were dominant, and Anthony was a major catalyst with 17 points and seven rebounds. It was a vintage performance that only began to scratch the surface of what Anthony has accomplished internationally.
According to Marc Berman of The New York Post, Anthony has one goal this summer: winning the gold medal that would set he and America apart from the rest.
