Carmelo Anthony has played nearly 20 seasons in the NBA and has garnered many accomplishments in that span.
However, the one piece that has eluded him has been an NBA title.
Anthony had good stretches with the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks, but those teams weren’t quite good enough to reach the final stage of the season. The same applies to his recent two-year stint with the Portland Trail Blazers.
But now that Anthony is with the Los Angeles Lakers, he is on the most talented roster he’s ever played with. LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook are the star trio that looks like they can assemble a title run, but the on-court fit must first be proven to work.
Former Laker Metta Sandiford-Artest made his selection on Twitter for who will win the title this year, and Anthony plays a major factor:
I’m conflicted on who I want to see when championship.
Definitely wanna see Melo get one. Definitely want the Knicks and pacers to get one. Then I need the sac town kings to get one.
I’ll map it
Lakers this year
Pacers next year
Knicks the following

The two were teammates in the 2013-14 season while with the Knicks, but Artest earned his ring in 2009 with the Lakers.
Anthony said during his introductory conference that he wants to win a ring this year with L.A. because it’s the one thing he’s missing.
