NBA players every fan needs to watch in Week 4: Carmelo Anthony

This one is for all the NBA fans who have been watching for years. Anyone who grew up watching Carmelo Anthony needs to catch a Los Angeles Lakers game sometime soon.

It’s crazy that a couple of years ago people were trying to say that Anthony wasn’t good enough to be in the league anymore. Now, he’s one of the only bright spots on a struggling Lakers team.

He’s averaging nearly 18 points per game this season, but the most impressive stat is that he is shooting an unprecedented 52.0% from deep on 6.8 attempts per game.

Anthony is an elite three-point shooter and very fun to watch. Even if you’re one of the people who doesn’t like the Lakers, watching Carmelo Anthony ball out is worth it.

NBA players every fan needs to watch in Week 4: Cole Anthony

Since we already talked about one C. Anthony, why not another? Cole Anthony has been one of the most electric players in the NBA so far this season.

Not only is he an early candidate for Most Improved Player, but he brings the energy off the court, too. He went viral once again just a few days ago for an amazing postgame interview.

The Orlando Magic may not be the best team, but Anthony has led them to some impressive wins. Most recently, he lifted them over the Utah Jazz with a 33-point performance.

Anthony is slowly becoming one of the best young players in the NBA. This young Magic squad is extremely fun to watch, and Cole Anthony is a big reason for that.
