FIBA Ambassador for several years now, Carmelo Anthony was logically in Paris to attend the Olympic tournament.
Very active in the semi-final against Serbia and then in the final against the French team, the former Knicks superstar was honest about his experience.
The Olympic Games have been over for almost a week and they are already sorely missed by all sports fans, and especially basketball fans.
Because it must be recognized, the final four of the competition gave rise to legendary matches.
In terms of level of play, the clash between Serbia and the United States was for example a slap in the face.
Similarly, the final against the French team was marked by a breathtaking scenario, which saw Stephen Curry make the difference with a huge burst of heat behind the arc while the Blues were only 3 points behind on the scoreboard.
This gold medal must have a special taste for Team USA, because it was won in adversity.

When you are a fan, you always remember the big moments. For example, with me, people remember my 62 points scored at Madison Square Garden.
Moments leave a mark on people. And the game against Serbia in the semi-finals was a moment. The game against the French team in the final was a moment. Normally, you only see such emotions in football, during the World Cup. You rarely see that in basketball.
When LeBron talks about the “Avengers,” he’s not just talking about the players on the roster, he’s talking about all the fans. They needed the support of all the fans to win the gold medal.
I brought my energy from the sidelines, Dwyane Wade brought his, and all the Americans in the room too.
From the Accor Arena, Carmelo Anthony felt a particular tension during Team USA’s last two games. He felt the stress and pressure that soccer fans know well during the heated moments of a World Cup.
That’s why, in his eyes, his compatriots’ epic will go down in history.
Carmelo Anthony was in Paris as a FIBA ambassador, just like Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki, he finished the final as Team USA’s coach and No. 1 supporter.
He will forever remember those moments shared with his son.
