Carmelo Anthony might have moved to a new city over the last week, but he has kept his New York state of mind and the legendary hoodie that has made him a viral scoring machine throughout a nightmarish summer.

Melo brought that very same hoodie to the Thunder's practice, this time shedding the sleeves for a more comfortable all-out practice with his new teammates.

Oklahoma City gave up two key bench pieces for Anthony's services and will need him to be the potent scorer he's been throughout his career to level the playing field and allow this team to go toe-to-toe with the West's reloaded offensive firepower.

Hoodie Melo has been in the zone all summer, bringing not only a new look to the court, but also a new mentality into the game with him — one his All-Star teammates Paul George and Russell Westbrook will expect from him as the team builds chemistry through the preseason.

Anthony is expected to play at power forward due to his formidable strength on the block and an uncanny trigger from the perimeter, giving the team a swift dynamic around half court sets and allowing George to stay in his natural small forward slot.
