40-year-old Anthony confirmed to be inducted into the Hall of Fame! James spoke out immediately: Congratulations to my brother

On April 3, Beijing time, according to Shams, multiple sources revealed that Anthony, a 10-time All-Star, has been informed that he has been inducted into the 2025 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. James updated social media congratulations as soon as possible: "Congratulations, my brother! May you be peaceful and well, God willing! ”

Anthony, 40, recently said he is interested in buying the Wizards and hopes to become an NBA team owner. Anthony has been named to the All-NBA Team six times. In 2003, he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets as a prospect in the NBA Draft. In that draft, James joined the Cavaliers as the No. 1 pick, and Wade was drafted by the Heat with the fifth pick.

Anthony quickly rose to become one of the league's top scorers, averaging 21 points per game in his rookie season. In eight seasons with the Nuggets, he averaged 24.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 564 games. In the 2008-2009 season, the Nuggets lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

In 2011, Anthony was traded to the Knicks as part of a three-way trade that shook the league. The Baltimore native returned to the East Coast and quickly became the darling of Knicks fans, who have always craved a superstar.

In 2013, Anthony was the league's leading scorer, but he failed to lead the Knicks through the second round of the playoffs that season. In 412 games with the Knicks, Anthony averaged 24.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. After spending seven seasons with the Knicks, Anthony was traded to the Thunder before the 2017 season, but he only played one season with the Thunder.

Subsequently, he spent the next five seasons with the Rockets, Trail Blazers, and Lakers. In the 2021-2022 season, he played his final season in the NBA with the Lakers. In his 19-year career, he averaged 22.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 44.7 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from three-point range. Anthony has scored 28,289 points in his career, which ranks 10th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

In college, Anthony shone in his only season at Syracuse University. He led the team to the 2003 NCAA championship and was named the Most Outstanding Player (MOP) in the tournament.

At the Olympics, Anthony also performed well. In 2004, he helped Team USA win a bronze medal, and then in 2008, 2012 and 2016, he led the United States to three consecutive gold medals, becoming the most decorated player in the history of the U.S. men's basketball team.
