It is a short but clear message that the 33-year-old is fully aware of all the chatter surrounding the “Hoodie Melo” persona that is a large part of him as a laser-focused offensive threat that he has been throughout his career. This has helped in establishing himself as one of the best scorers that the league has seen.

Keep in mind, Anthony is one of five players in league history who has averaged 20 or more points while playing at least 40 games in each of their first 13 seasons in the NBA. This exclusive list includes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, and LeBron James.

In many ways, this has taken the attention away from the constant trade rumors that were the primary focus earlier this offseason. Instead, there has only been much praise toward how impressive he has looked on the court and how much more he truly has left in the tank.
