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. Anthony's legendary basketball career began in college when he won the NCAA national championship during his freshman year at Syracuse in 2003. The Nuggets drafted Anthony third overall and he immediately burst onto the NBA scene, scoring 21 points per game in his rookie year. Anthony lost the Rookie of the Year battle with LeBron James that year.
