It’s so cool to watch him grow into and embrace the statesmen role for Syracuse and the basketball world that he worked so hard for (maybe didn’t even know that this would be his future during his playing days). He has earned all of it. Truly feels like he knows the best moments in his life have yet to come. I’m sure everyone feels older today thinking about the present and current moment and the imminent future. I mean the guys son is suiting up for Cuse in 6 months lol.While Melo always will have the lack of nba titles as a knock against him, there are few better examples of how prosperity through being a student athlete can lead to so much more in being a businessman and a parent as well as an icon that millions can look up to. Was extremely glad he got this opportunity to be connected to SU for much more than his basketball achievements.
What a phenomenal speech by Melo! The dome had to have been rocking! Loved it.
Commencement Day at Syracuse University. This years speaker Carmello Anthony, a member of the 204 National Champion basketball team. Dennis Nett | dnett@syracuse.comdennis nett | dnett@syracuse.com
I didn’t realize that we won a previous championship with the “other” C. Anthony!
He did it without a written speech, without a single note, and without a teleprompter. It was seriously wonderful.I read his speech. But it doesn’t look like he’s reading from a script. If he did that extemporaneously - WOW.
