This 2003 Tanhualang was officially inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Looking back at 19 years of career, 1,260 games, averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists, with a total score of 28,289 points, the tenth in NBA history, ten All-Stars, six best-squad, the scoring leader in 2013, the gold medal harvester of the American men's basketball team.

such honor list is great, but when we mention Anthony's name, we can't avoid the word "no crown".

Time went back to 2002, Anthony, who became famous at a young age, led Oak Hill High School to a hot record of 32 wins and 1 loss, and the team started with a 25-game winning streak. In a television broadcast war that attracted attention across the United States, he defeated St. Mary's High School led by LeBron James.

On the game, Anthony and James scored 70 points together, allowing the whole United States to see these two future basketball geniuses in advance.

After graduating from high school, Anthony chose to join Syracuse University. Before that, the team's coach Jim Boyheim led the team to the national finals twice, but both returned in vain. It was not until Anthony arrived that Syracuse University was able to rewrite history. In his freshman season, Anthony averaged 22.2 points and 10 rebounds per game, and even scored a total of 121 points in the NCAA Championship, leading Syracuse to win the first championship in the team history. And that year, Anthony was just a 19-year-old newcomer, but he was already on the highest stage of college basketball.

At the 2003 draft, Anthony was selected by the Nuggets as a Tanhua. Denver had missed the playoffs for eight consecutive years at that time. Thanks to Anthony's joining, the team quickly got the opportunity to turn the situation around. In his rookie season, he scored a star data averaged 21 points per game, successfully bringing the Nuggets back to the playoffs.

Looking back on the seven seasons he played for the Nuggets, Anthony has been able to keep the team in the playoffs every year. And this is a wild West where heroes are divided. In contrast, LeBron James of the East has not tasted the playoffs in the first two seasons.

In the first decade of his career, Anthony never missed the playoffs, which is also a rare record in NBA history. Although he failed to achieve his goal of breaking through the Western Conference in the end, he still relied on his stable scoring and strong singles ability to allow the Nuggets to occupy a place in the Western Conference. In 2011, Anthony moved to New York and became the darling of Madison Gardens. He also ushered in his personal peak here, averaging 28.7 points per game in the 2012-13 season, leading the Knicks to the best record in the past 20 years. But the problems behind it also come, especially Anthony's career choice, which destined him to find it difficult to form his own super team.

When James, Wade and Bosh renewed their contract for three years in 2007 and paved the way for the 2010 alliance early, Anthony chose to have a five-year long contract and missed the opportunity to join a strong team. In 2014, he also got the opportunity to go to Chicago to join forces with Ross and Butler, but he once again chose to stay in New York and signed the maximum salary contract that basically locked the future.

Faced with the crossroads of life, Anthony chose money and loyalty, but also missed the championship.

And as we grow older, this offensive kaleidoscope is no longer the unsolvable scoring machine. In 2017, he was named by young Mitchell in the Thunder; in 2018, he was given up after playing for the Rockets in just 10 games and then went to Portland and Los Angeles. Although he also received some applause, Anthony, who had already left the team's core position, had long lost the ability to control the victory or defeat of the game.

Compared with James, Wade and Bosh of the same class, Anthony's biggest regret is that he has never appeared on the NBA Finals stage, and he has not been able to hold up the championship trophy in his more than ten years of career. But even if he has no championship in his career, this does not define his full value.

Olympics, Anthony is the super scoring machine of the American men's basketball team. He went on four battles, and the achievements of three gold and one copper were also a height that later generations could not reach. And beyond this, the rule of Oak Hill High School, the champion of Syracuse University, the revival moment of the Nuggets, and the brief glory of New York, these history, in Anthony's career, are destined to be a brilliant part.

He does not have a champion, but just like uncrowned kings like Ewing, Hill, and Barkley, not having a crown does not mean failure. He has brought too many classic scenes to the fans.

Now, his name has finally been alongside countless legends and officially entered the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

has no crown, but it is never lost; this is Cameron Anthony.
