Ex-NBA star Carmelo Anthony blown away by NBL's rise

NBA legend Carmelo Anthony has labelled the NBL as arguably the second best league in the world, saying Australian basketball is making waves in the United States.

Anthony has arrived in Australia as part of the NBL's inaugural HoopsFest, a four-day festival that will see NBL, WNBL and youth teams play in Perth.

The 10-time NBA All Star is a global ambassador for the NBL's Next Stars program and has been pencilled in to be part of an ownership group for a future NBL expansion team.
