“Possible retirement of Carmelo Anthony’s jersey for the Denver Nuggets discussed by Jeff Green”

Carmelo Anthony scored for the Nuggets and Knicks franchises, and Jeff Green spoke about retiring his Nuggets jersey.

We know how difficult it is to have your jersey hanging from the ceiling of the Knicks, so for Carmelo Anthony, who has won nothing in the Big Apple, few analysts see the number 7 being retired.

However, at the Nuggets, Melo did not win either, but the history of the franchise is poorer, so is a number withdrawal possible? A problem arises, Carmelo Anthony wore number 15 in Denver. Today, number 15 in Colorado is Nikola Jokic. For Jeff Green, it’s not a problem, he even talks about removing the two jerseys.

“I hope they can retire both shirts. Nikola and Carmelo. I know it can be done and it deserves what he did for the franchise… Melo really put Denver back on the map. I really hope they can come to an agreement (the leaders of the Nuggets editor’s note) to make this happen”

Indeed, a team has already retired two jerseys. As a coincidence, it’s number 15… at the Knicks! A first time for Dick McGuire, and a second for Earl Monroe. The Blazers also retired number 30 twice, for Bob Gross and Terry Porter.
