SYR - Carmelo Anthony White Heavyweight PO Hoody

“Nobody should respect you more than you respect yourself.” For a year the music never stopped. In 2003, the freshman who took the court at Syracuse captivated a nation. He had the freshest look. The deadliest scoring touch. And at just 18 years old, the most legendary smile the game had ever known. With his hair in slick aerodynamic cornrows and his trademark orange headband, Carmelo Anthony arrived like a godsend to the college game. Don’t be fooled by the smile, because #15 was cold. It was step-backs, arena’s packed and boom, just like that, Syracuse basketball was back, baby, back! The snapshots told a story. The Melo chants. The dome stomp. The headlines of a winner. Then came the run itself. The 33 he hung on Texas in the Final Four. The moments ticking down to history a game later. And finally, the glory of cutting down the nets. That’s Melo.
