Carmelo Anthony is one of the best comeback NBA stories in recent times. A top-10 scorer of all time, Melo was almost forced to retire in 2018, with no team in the league willing to bet on him. Nevertheless, the former scoring champion always had faith in his abilities.
Anthony would finally get his shot at redemption with the Trail Blazers after sitting out for an entire post which he’s never looked back. In what many believe, Melo was a victim of politics among the front offices, given him being out of a job with 6-All NBA Team selections.
Having played 19-seasons in the league, Anthony made a mark for himself. The ten-time All-Star made $260 million from his mere salaries. Melo was among the known faces, with big brands wanting him on board. Many don’t know that the 38-year-old is quite a savvy businessman.
