Technically, Carmelo Anthony stayed on Syracuse’s campus for a small fraction of his life. Yet, Anthony produced long-lasting memories that have impacted both the Syracuse men’s basketball team and himself forever.
Anthony played the main role in Syracuse’s lone national championship run (2003), proving that a program’s best freshman scorer could also lead a relatively inexperienced team to the Big Dance. Despite declaring for the NBA Draft shortly afterwards, Anthony remained connected to Syracuse throughout his 19-year NBA career.
