MINNEAPOLIS — Carmelo Anthony is one step closer to the Hall of Fame.
The former Knick was among the first-time nominees announced Thursday for the 2025 Naismith class, joining another familiar face, Amar’e Stoudemire, as well as Dwight Howard and Marc Gasol.
Anthony, a Brooklyn native, is the lock of the NBA players in the class, sitting No. 10 on the all-time scoring list with over 28,000 points and 10 All-Star appearances.

He is probably the best Knick since Patrick Ewing — at least until Jalen Brunson’s career is over — but never advanced past the second round of the playoffs with the franchise.

According to Front Office Sports, Anthony has been pushing for a TV analyst gig with the NBA’s new media deal taking effect next season and the integration of NBC and Amazon into the national games coverage.
