Monday afternoon, the New York Knicks officially traded Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Doing so ends the near seven-year marriage between the two parties. Unfortunately, the way they ended their final year with one another, as well as the combo’s inability to put forth a winning product year in and out will ultimately harm Anthony’s legacy as a Knick.
It was a cold winter night in February of 2011 with Donnie Walsh at the head of all things blue and orange when Anthony made his Knicks debut. Seeing Anthony and Amare Stoudemire on the court alongside one another generated an immense amount of hope for Knicks fans.
