Celebrate his career

As mentioned earlier, Anthony has had a tremendous career over 17 years. After he was cut from the Rockets it appeared that we could not appreciate a champion as he said farewell to the league that he had given so much to for so long.

Thanks to the Blazers, the rest of the league could see that Anthony was still a force. Now that he has been signed to a single season deal, he has the chance to say farewell to the fans and the fans can say farewell to a legend of the league and future hall of fame member if it is his final season.

Anthony has made friends with players all through his playing career and he is a highly respected person throughout the league. He tried to bring players under his wing, especially during his time with the New York Knicks.

Like with Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, if you watch a game, suspecting that it is the last time you will see this incredible player play your team, fans will find a way to pay tribute. He has given so much to you over the years, it is time to show your respect back and celebrate one of the greatest players in this generation to play this game.
