Carmelo Anthony Names Hall of Fame Presenters

Carmelo Anthony will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025, with Allen Iverson and Dwyane Wade serving as his presenters at the ceremony on September 6 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Anthony originally hoped to have three presenters, including Michael Jordan, but ultimately chose Iverson and Wade, both former teammates and Hall of Famers with whom he shared significant NBA and Olympic moments. The trio notably won gold together at the 2008 Olympics, and Iverson was Anthony's teammate on the Denver Nuggets. Over his 19-year NBA career, Anthony was a 10-time All-Star and a prominent figure for the New York Knicks. The 2025 Hall of Fame class also includes Dwight Howard, Sue Bird, Maya Moore, Sylvia Fowles, Billy Donovan, Micky Arison, and Danny Crawford, with Dwight Howard to be presented by multiple Hall of Famers. Anthony’s presenter choices underscore the personal and professional bonds that shaped his legacy.
