"In the hands of Anthony, Anthony for three... PUTS IT IN, KNICKS BY ONE with 8.2 remaining." Carmelo Anthony's game winner in 2012 versus the Chicago Bulls was arguably his best moment in his six and a half year tenure with the New York Knicks. That is nowhere near enough to have your jersey retired and be considered one of the greats for a franchise.
With no signature playoff moments to his name as a Knick and no Eastern Conference finals appearances, there is no argument for the New York Knicks to retire his jersey. There is no argument to be made that Anthony should be considered one of the all-time Knicks greats.
