Ten-time NBA All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony, who signed a non-guaranteed one-year, $2.15 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, says he’s not thinking about retiring right now:
“This ain’t a damn farewell tour. My love for the game don’t stop. I don’t know where this ‘farewell tour’ thing came from. I’ve never talked about a farewell tour. I know what I can do and I believe in myself. When a farewell tour comes, it comes. That’s not something I think about. I’m not thinking about retiring right now. I had (thought about it) during this past stretch over the summer. But ain’t no retiring in my mind. I believe in what I have left,” Anthony said, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Through four games this season, Melo has been averaging 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 0.8 steals per game, while shooting at 39.1% from the field.
