The all-time great player for the Knicks has formally declared his retirement due to his wife

The 10-time All-Star, who spent seven of his 19 NBA seasons with the Knicks, said in a videotaped statement, “Now is the time for me to say goodbye to the game that gave me purpose and pride.” “I recall the times when all I had was a ball on the court and a hope of something greater. But my outlet was basketball. The Brooklyn native Anthony, who missed this season’s action, is retiring without ever winning an elusive championship or making it to the NBA Finals. He made it to the Western Conference Finals once, in 2009, with the Nuggets before being dealt in a blockbuster deal to the Knicks during the 2011 trade deadline.

American records for points (37) and 3-pointers (10) in a single game are held by him, and he has made the most appearances of any men’s player in the history of the country with 31 throughout four Olympics. COMMERCIAL The Knicks progressed to the second round of the playoffs and a 54-win regular season in 2012–13, his finest season in New York. Until this spring, the team had not advanced farther in the tournament. That season, Anthony finished third in the league MVP vote despite leading the league in scoring at 28.7 points per game.
