In December 2006, Anthony was involved in an on-court altercation in which he struck Knicks player Mardy Collins, resulting in a 15-game suspension. Despite this setback, he returned strong and made his first NBA All-Star Game appearance in 2007. That same year, he finished as the second-highest vote-getter among Western Conference forwards and became the fourth-leading scorer in the NBA for the season.
Anthony’s international career also flourished. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he played a key role in helping Team USA win the gold medal, contributing significantly on both offense and defense.
In 2011, Anthony was traded to the New York Knicks, where he became the centerpiece of the franchise. During his tenure in New York, he continued to demonstrate elite-level performance. In 2014, he signed a five-year contract worth approximately $124 million with the Knicks. At the time, his annual salary reached $24.56 million, and his net worth was estimated at $90 million. Anthony was also named a starter in several All-Star Games during this period.
In 2010, Carmelo Anthony married La La Anthony, a television and radio personality. The couple's relationship has been in the public eye, with both frequently sharing moments of their lives on platforms like Twitter and Instagram. Outside of basketball, Carmelo is known for his love of baseball and follows player statistics on Fangraphs, a popular baseball analytics website.
In the 2017 NBA season, Anthony sustained a minor injury to his left leg, resulting in a brief absence of two games. Despite this setback, he was expected to return to form quickly, as he had throughout his resilient career.
