Syracuse Basketball: Carmelo Anthony, fans want return to New York

It has been three years since Carmelo Anthony last played for the New York Knicks. It’s been 16 years since Carmelo suited up for the Syracuse basketball squad.

In a day and age where nostalgia is the flavor of the moment, fans are craving for a reunion of epic proportions.

Sadly that reunion won’t be at the Carrier Dome for the Orange, I don’t believe the NCAA would approve that, despite the fact, Melo technically still has three years of eligibility.

It would actually be with the New York Knicks. When Melo was a rising 26-year old star in the NBA with the Denver Nuggets he forced his way out in a blockbuster deal with the Knicks where he spent seven seasons, but could a return be on the horizon?
