The 10-time NBA All-Star has been notified he’s been elected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Anthony, a six-time All-NBA selection and 2003 All-Rookie Team selection, gets into illustrious company after 19 NBA seasons in which he averaged 22.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game over 1,260 appearances (1,120 starts).
For the player who led Syracuse to a national championship as a freshman and later went on to be the face of the Knicks, the news will become official on Saturday when the announcement comes at the men’s Final Four in San Antonio.
