Longtime NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony has reportedly been chosen as a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's class of 2025.
According to ESPNa, Melo was informed Wednesday that he was elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
Anthony was named a Hall of Fame finalist in February along with fellow former NBA players Dwight Howard, Buck Williams and Marques Johnson.
After winning a national championship and being named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player in his only collegiate season at Syracuse, the Denver Nuggets made Anthony the No. 3 overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft.
Melo went on to star for 19 seasons in the NBA with the Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers.
Anthony was a 10-time All-Star and six-time All-NBA selection, plus he won the 2012-13 NBA scoring title, and he was named to the league's 75th Anniversary Team.
