Anthony not to be invited
    2019-07-29  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CARMELO ANTHONY won’t have a chance to add to his record of three gold medals with Team USA. Despite a number of players passing on the opportunity to play for Team USA, the team will not consider extending an invite to Anthony, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The news doesn’t come as a shock considering the state of Anthony’s NBA career. Anthony played just 10 games with the Houston Rockets last season. He was eventually traded to the Chicago Bulls, who didn’t want him around.

The 35-year-old Anthony has yet to sign with a team this offseason. He averaged 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds last season.

While Anthony’s play has declined, his ties to Team USA run deep, leading some to wonder whether Team USA might extend him an invite. Anthony ranks first in a number of significant statistical categories for the U.S. Olympic men’s team, including games played, points and rebounds.

In this case, legacy doesn’t matter as much. Anthony will go down as one of the best — and most successful — Team USA players ever, but it’s time for the next generation to make their mark.

A number of marquee players may have withdrawn from the team, but young players like Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and Julius Randle have signed on.
