The long-awaited reaction to Carmelo Anthony's return to the NBA

On Thursday night, the Portland Trail Blazers signed Carmelo Anthony according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Anthony last played for the Houston Rockets on Nov. 8, 2018 before parting ways.

The No. 3 pick of the 2003 draft and Most Outstanding Player of the 2003 Final Four, Anthony has worn both 15 (Syracuse, Denver Nuggets) and 7 (New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets) during his 16-year career, but will likely don a new number in Portland as 15 is retired (Larry Steele) and 7 is being held out of circulation (Brandon Roy).
