In a recent poll conducted during the WWIB segment, 61% of votes opposed the retirement of Carmelo Anthony's #7 jersey by the Knicks, reflecting a shift in public opinion compared to last year's 51% support. The debate centers on Anthony's legacy, particularly in light of his upcoming Hall of Fame induction. While recognized as a talented player and the best on the Knicks from 2011-2017, some argue his success doesn’t compare to those whose jerseys are already retired. The discussion also touches upon the varying criteria different teams use for number retirements, highlighting the complexity of these decisions.
It's a sentiment that I share... when you look at the numbers that are retired, you see championships and/or lifetime greatness.
...Melo led the league in scoring during 2013 and has three gold medals, two of which he earned during his time in New York.
