Anthony is the only player taken in the top five of the 2003 NBA draft without an NBA title Kevin Durant could match that total if the U.S. However, Anthony is the only player in men’s USA Basketball history to compete in four separate Olympics and is the only player to win three gold medals. The other nine players combined to win the award 27 times. Anthony is also the lone player in the top 10 to never win NBA MVP. As for the other eight (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O’Neal, Moses Malone), they’ve combined to win 29 NBA titles. Of those top 10 scorers, Carmelo and Karl Malone are the only players never to win an NBA title. 10 slot on the league’s all-time scoring list. In 18 NBA seasons with the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, and Portland Trail Blazers, Anthony has scored 27,370 regular-season points, which puts him in the No. Carmelo Anthony has scored the 10th-most points in NBA history Carmelo Anthony during a Portland Trail Blazers-Sacramento Kings matchup in March 2021 | Alika Jenner/Getty Images However, Melo doesn’t seem to be ready to give up the dream just yet and could have his best chance at a ring in 2021-22. In fact, Darko was actually the first to get one and Anthony, despite being one of the league’s all-time greatest scorers, is the only player from the top five not to win a title. However, he does have something Carmelo doesn’t have: an NBA championship ring. Okay, so Milicic didn’t exactly work out and will be the only player taken in the top five not to make the Hall of Fame.
1 overall pick, and Darko Milicic, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade rounded out the top five. LeBron James, of course, was taken with the No.
It may not have the overall depth of the ’96 class that included three NBA MVP winners (Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash) and arguably the greatest shooter in NBA history ( Ray Allen), but it’s certainly one of the best top-heavy classes we’ve ever seen. The 2003 NBA draft class will forever be seen as one of the greatest in history.
