In 2003, Anthony led Syracuse University to the NCAA championship. He entered the 2003 NBA Draft in the same year and was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the third overall pick in the first round. He has played for the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Los Angeles Lakers. Anthony had played in the Nuggets in terms of price and fame, led the Nuggets into the Western Conference Finals in 2009, but met the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant at that time, after the defeat, the Nuggets disintegrated, in February 2011 was traded to the New York Knicks, after playing for five years in the Knicks, fame and personal strength reached its peak, but the overall strength of the team is not good, resulting in the team can not go one step closer, coupled with Anthony due to age, injury and state and other reasons the strength of the serious decline, it was traded by the team, traded, traded, traded again, Began a wandering career, even for a while there was no ball to play, infinitely close to retirement!
Now playing in the Lakers, the 37-year-old is an important firepower point for the Lakers, and his long-range shooting is too important for the Lakers. However, this year's Lakers are not in good shape, and the strength of the team is fluctuating, but as the season progresses, I believe the Lakers will get better and better. It's better to win the championship this season, this is the best affirmation for him!
