Carmelo Anthony Accuses Denver Nuggets of Trying to Erase His Legacy

Former NBA Player Claims 'Petty Maneuver' in Giving His Old Jersey Number to Nikola Jokic

Carmelo Anthony, former NBA player, has accused the Denver Nuggets of trying to erase his legacy by giving his old jersey number, 15, to Nikola Jokic.
Anthony, who played for the Nuggets from 2003 to 2010, said on his podcast that the move was a 'petty maneuver'.
Jokic, a two-time NBA MVP and NBA champion, has worn the number since his youth basketball days in Serbia.
Anthony's comments have sparked debate about whether the Nuggets should retire the No. 15 jersey in his honor.
Anthony retired from the NBA in May 2023 after a 19-year career, during which he played for several teams including the New York Knicks.
