"Well deserved, king. The player that made me fall in love with basketball," one fan wrote.

"One of the most under appreciated athletes in todays game of sports," another said.

One fan came with receipts, writing, "Well deserved. Melo was one of the purest scorers we've ever seen - 27,000+ career points, 10x All-Star, and that unforgettable 2013 scoring title. His fadeaway jumper was practically unstoppable in his prime."

Another fan kept it simple, saying, "His incredible career and impact on the game speak for themselves. Well earned!"

Carmelo Anthony may not have been able to win an NBA championship, but he is an NCAA champion as well as a 3-time Olympic Gold medalist with Team USA. He was also one of the NBA's biggest superstars in the 2000s and 2010s, racking up six All-NBA appearances alongside his 10 All-Star selections.

Melo is also one of the best examples of aesthetic greatness, his scoring ability was second to none. However any basketball fan feels about him, there is no question that Carmelo Anthony is a certified first-ballot Hall of Famer.
