NBA Players explain how Carmelo Anthony DESTROYED EVERYBODY (Kobe, LeBron, Paul George..)

I watched hours of interviews with NBA legends talking about Carmelo Anthony. Probably the most underrated scorer in NBA history. I think people forget just how good Carmelo Anthony really was in his prime. You can see how he's respected by every generation. Hope y'all will enjoy it!
