The decision to retire from active duty and to end a great career of 19 years in his magical world NBA took the Carmelo Anthony.
Among the first to send a message to the 38-year-old “Melo” was John Antetokounmpo, who with a beautiful and touching post on social media, thank you the 10-time All Star forward for the push he gave him all these years!
“Thank you for pushing me higher and congratulations on your legendary career”the Greek superstar of the “deer” said characteristically in his “tweet”.
It is worth mentioning that a few years ago, the “Greek Freak” had revealed in an interview that Carmelo was the one who had done the worse trashtalking when Giannis was still in his rookie season in the NBA, with the then New York Knicks player telling him that does not do in the NBA and return to Europe!
“Carmelo Anthony was the one who hurt me the most. I was a rookie and he saw it in my eyes that I was scared of him. He badmouthed me and that motivated me! I also answered what he told me! He was telling me I can’t play. He told me to go back to Europe. When I was on the bench he yelled to coach Larry Drew, ‘put the kid in.'”Giannis had stated.
