So glad they didn't include a Nuggets jersey in there. I've listened to nothing but Melo bashing this whole week on the local radio as usual. I hate these hoops "fans" out here so much

Screw the Nuggets if they don't know what he did there.

They were still the year before he came and didn’t miss the playoffs with him

So happy for both of them together here. What a magical story. But it's real and to have this happen at Syracuse University makes it even better. Congratulations to both Coach Jim Boeheim and Carmelo Anthony for two amazing careers, both Hall of Famers. It must be a really great feeling for both of them.

Dwight Howard is same height as Melo?

Most Important Player in Syracuse basketball history, imo.

Still the most significant, and happiest, sports fandom moment of my life.

I'd prefer that DWade introduce Melo at the HOF.

JB would obviously be cool from a Syracuse perspective but I think many fans would be confused by AI or Jordan giving Melo's introduction.

Also I'd prefer Melo not being introduced by a former Hoya.

Iverson was his teammate in Denver for 2+ seasons. Don't think it would confuse anyone.

I think this is a bad choice on Melo's part. The person introducing him should be Jim Boeheim. Jim has been very instrumental in Melo's career -- when he was at SU, when he was in the NBA and since his retirement. When Jim was inducted into the HOF he was introduced by Dave Bing, his teammate, roommate and lifelong friend. The guys selected by Melo seem so random ... especially when compared to the impact Jim Boeheim has had on Melo's life and career.

I can understand Lebron since they have been long time friends since teenagers, started their NBA careers together and were teammates for a year at LA. Really surprised and disappointed that he didn’t ask Jim Boeheim.

I reckon Melo probably sees the HOF nod as more of an homage to his career in the NBA, rather that his 1 year in college at SU.

Melo should pick who Melo wants to pick.
