Taipei, Aug. 29 (CNA) Ten-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony has arrived in Taiwan, just before his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
Anthony, also known as “Melo,” landed at Taoyuan International Airport around 5 a.m. Friday. He is scheduled to attend the GQ Style Fest at Warehouse No. 4 in Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei on Saturday.<\/p>\n
At the event, Anthony will take photos with 80 fans. GQ staff will distribute queue numbers from 9:30 a.m., with 20 additional numbers available for backups.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old Anthony was the third overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft and is widely regarded as one of the league’s best scorers.<\/p>\n
Known for his signature jab step and pull-up jumper, he finished his 19-season career with 28,289 points, ranking him 10th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.<\/p>\n
In addition to his 2012-13 scoring title and six All-NBA selections, Anthony led Team USA to three Olympic gold medals. He was also honored as one of the league’s top 75 players in history.<\/p>\n
Anthony, who announced his retirement in 2023, was elected to the Hall of Fame in April. He will be enshrined on Sept. 6 for both his NBA career and his role on the 2008 U.S. Olympic “Redeem Team,” which won gold at the Beijing Games.<\/p>\n
