Carmelo Anthony, one of the greatest scorers in NBA history, officially announced his retirement from the league Monday.
He played 19 seasons in the NBA — notably for the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks — and made 10 All-Star teams, six All-NBA first-teams and won three gold and one bronze Olympic medals. Anthony also landed on the NBA's all-time 75th anniversary team and ranks ninth all-time in points scored.
