Carmelo Anthony tours Caribbean as potential soccer owner

Carmelo Anthony is reportedly seeking an ownership role in the North American Soccer League.

The Knicks star visited Puerto Rico this month to explore potential stadium sites for either a new team or to revive the Puerto Rico Islanders, which were disbanded in 2012, according to a report from the website Empire of Soccer.

Anthony’s father hails from Puerto Rico. The NASL is the de facto second-tier North American league after MLS.

Anthony traveled to Cuba with the New York Cosmos as a “guest of the league,” the report said, for their historic match Tuesday against the country’s national team.
