Anthony said of his resignation on Twitter:

“I remember the days when I had nothing. Just a ball on a pitch with a dream of more. But basketball was my outlet. My purpose was strong, my community, the cities I was proud to represent and the Fans who have supported me along the way. I am forever grateful to these people and places because they made me Carmelo Anthony.”

“But now it’s time for me to say goodbye. … With this bittersweet farewell to the NBA, I’m excited to see what the future holds for me.”
