They say every athlete dies twice. The first time comes when he finally retires. For Carmelo Anthony, he hasn’t been able to go out on his terms.
The former New York Knick was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2017, but that didn’t work out as planned. In 2018, he joined up with the Houston Rockets and his old head coach, Mike D’Antoni. That marriage only lasted a mere 10 games before the Rockets told Anthony to take a hike.
Now, according to Melo’s trainer, Chris Brickley, the future Hall of Famer wants a farewell season like Dwyane Wade had with the Miami Heat.
