ESPN recently unveiled its top-74 NBA players of all-time, and to not include former Syracuse basketball star Carmelo Anthony is ridiculous.
Over the past week or so, ESPN has published on its Web site a ranking of the best 74 guys in NBA history, to coincide with the league’s length of existence, but Syracuse basketball icon Carmelo Anthony unfortunately didn’t make the cut.
Sure, I’ll profess to having some Orange bias, since SU is my alma mater, and I adore the ‘Cuse hoops program. But in putting that to the side for a second, it’s utter non-sense that Anthony, a future pro Hall of Famer, isn’t among the premier 74 NBA players.
