Retirement of jerseys is an extremely important honor for NBA players. So far, there are 11 teams in the league who have retired double-digit jerseys, including the Celtics, who have retired a total of 24 jerseys. The Knicks' retired jerseys include 10 player numbers and one coach's jersey number.

Recent recent discussions on whether Anthony's jersey can be retired have also attracted the attention of media people. Media people revealed on the show that when Anthony retired, there was strong support within the Knicks team, hoping that the team can retire his jersey. After understanding the situation in the past few weeks, the reporter said: It can be said that the Knicks still have strong support within the Knicks for his jersey. However, I still can't be 100% sure the Knicks will retire his jersey.

At this year's Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Anthony was selected as a dual identity, one of which was the "Redification Team" representing the US Olympic men's basketball team. That is, after being inducted into the Hall of Fame, his retirement of his jersey also entered the discussion among Knicks fans.

However, the reporter also bluntly stated: Whether to retire Anthony's jersey will be decided by the team boss James Dolan. The number of retirement ceremony for the NBA jersey has not been limited. Anthony played for the Nuggets for eight years at the beginning of entering the league. The jersey number he wore in the Nuggets is currently owned by Jokic. Jokic was selected by the Nuggets as the 11th place in the second round in the 2014 draft. No one could have thought that Jokic won the current honor as a second round pick, and the future retirement ceremony of this jersey number will definitely not belong to Anthony.

Anthony was selected into the All-Stars seven times during his time with the Knicks from 2011 to 2017, and led the team to a record of 54 wins in 2013 and won the Atlantic Division championship. During his time with the Knicks, he averaged 24.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

While playing for the Nuggets, he was selected into the Western Conference All-Stars three times and won the All-Star Rookie MVP once. In 2008, he won a men's basketball gold medal in the Beijing Olympics.
