The new Los Angeles Lakers veteran forward Carmelo Anthony has an undeniable place in NBA history. However, he is far from the superstar he was in his prime and remains a polarizing player. Despite having a resume that is comparable to some of the greats… he’s still missing one thing: an NBA Championship. This season with the Lakers, he finally has his best opportunity to do so, but entering Year 19, would a ring really change the narrative around a 10-time NBA All-Star’s career?

Anthony appeared in 69 games (three starts), with the Portland Trail Blazers last season, where he averaged 13.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists while shooting 40.9 percent (133-235 3FG) from three-point range in 24.5 minutes per game.
