ESPN’s Shams Charania recently reported that Carmelo Anthony will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. The 10-time All-Star will get in on the first ballot. Melo had an illustrious career and was one of the best scorers in all of NBA history. He is 10th on the NBA’s scoring list with 28,289 career points. For his career, the former third overall pick averaged 22.5 points, 6.2 total rebounds, and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.5 percent. Anthony made his living in the mid-range game where he became one of the deadliest mid-range shooters in league history. Not to mention, he is one of the most decorated US Olympians. With a resume like Anthony’s, it makes sense why he is now a first ballot Hall of Famer.
