Anthony acknowledges New York and Knicks: Thank you for giving me the mission of this city

September 7th NBA legend Anthony was officially inducted into the Hall of Fame today. In his speech, Anthony thanked New York and the Knicks.

"In the city of New York, the temple of basketball, you give me more than a jersey, but also an identity," Anthony said. "I felt that energy, carried it, and finally became a part of it. New York was never a timid person. It was full of pressure and expectation, but it was more pride, strength and poetry. You made me understand how to carry the weight of the entire city with elegance, courage and love." Anthony then thanked the fans and the team, saying, "Your enthusiasm has never wavered, Even in the most difficult moments, your passion lit up every corner of the Garden Arena. Every opportunity, every cheer, every roar, every moment, we feel it together, and I really understand it. For the team, thank you for your trust and give me the mission of this city, which will never sleep, never sink, never stop. Maybe I have been in the league, but my soul always reverberates at 33 Seventh Avenue (Madison Square Garden). "

Anthony played for the Knicks for seven seasons, averaging 24.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game.
