Recently, NBA legend Carmelo Anthony talked about his career choices in the podcast program "7PM in Brooklyn".

Speaking of not choosing to join the Heat to join forces with LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, Anthony said: "The reason I want to come to New York and I didn't accept that deal is that, first, I didn't know enough about the business operations of basketball at that time, so I admit it; second, I want to have something that belongs to me. When I was in Denver, I had my own team, my own team system, and I didn't want to play other teams in roles like the three bosses or just be a supporting role. .

So I came to New York, and that's the kind of atmosphere I needed, there's something that belongs to me, and my family-like team. If I wanted to go anywhere, I wanted to be in that atmosphere because I knew what I was after at that point. If I could make a difference in New York, based on the career he started, and then we did it well together. Oh my God, that's exactly what we used to talk about."
