Carmelo Anthony had an amazing career both in the NBA and with team USA as well. The recenlty retired Knicks' legend shared some insights about the NBA and its development, and highlighted particularly the job done by one of the franchises: The Oklahoma City Thunder.
In his latest statement, reported by HoopsHype, the legendary scorer gave his explanation: "The NBA thinks about development. If you're not willing to take those steps to develop as a player, some NBA teams won't wanna know nothing with you. Oklahoma City Thunder is the franchise that works the best. In OKC, Sam Presti is the best when it comes to bringing those guys in and telling them, with transparency, this is the plan, this is your plan, all I want to see is that you meet the goals. If you hit the mark by the time you get to year three, you're going to have a very important role on this team," said "Melo".
And if you look at OKC, that's why they're so successful to this day. All of those guys develop every year. None of them were stars. Sam developed them," added the 10-time NBA All Star from 2007 to 2017.
Carmelo Anthony had a remarkable NBA career, although he never won a championship ring. He is considered one of the best scorers of all time.
Precisely, the 39-year-old former player was part of Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2017/18 season, although his time with the team was not at all remarkable. He barely averaged 16.2 points per game a year in which he was starting with a lot of illusion by being part of a 'Big Three' alongside Russell Westbrook and Paul George.
