Carmelo Kiyam Anthony, of the New York Knicks, is a nine time NBA All-Star and has been an All NBA team member six times. He has been a member of the United States Olympic men's national team three times, winning a bronze medal in 2004 and gold medals in 2008 and 2012. In 2012, Carmelo set the USA men's Olympic team record for most points

in a single game when he scored 37 points against Nigeria.

Carmelo was born in the Red Hook projects in Brooklyn, New York. He was born to a Puerto Rican father and an African American mother. His father, after whom he is named, died of cancer when Carmelo was two years old. When he turned eight, his family moved to Baltimore, where he honed not only his athletic skills, but also his survival skills. Sports would serve as an important diversion from the violence and drug dealing that were pervasive in the housing projects a few blocks from the homes of Carmelo and his friends.

Carmelo attended Syracuse University. In his freshman year, he led the Orangemen to their first ever National Championship and was named the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

Carmelo also has a broad array of business interests. With Stuart Goldfarb, he is co-founder and partner of Melo7 Tech Partners, LLC, which invests in and develops opportunities primarily in early stage digital media, consumer internet and technology ventures. Stuart and Carmelo have also partnered in other ventures, including the award winning Vice Sports Clubhouse. Carmelo is the owner of Puerto Rico’s only professional sports team, the Puerto Rico Football Club (PRFC), which plays in the North American Soccer League (NASL). Carmelo is one of only three current NBA players who have a Jordan Brand signature shoe line.
