One of the best NBA forwards of his time, and beyond, Carmelo Anthony (39), was a guest on a popular American podcast and, when asked to say something more about why Nikola Jokić wears “his exact number” in the Denver Nuggets, he offered an answer for disbelief.

According to Mel’s account, the Nuggets intentionally executed the maneuver to “erase Anthony’s legacy in Colorado.

It was a Petty maneuver. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, we got numbers to choose from.’ It was like, ‘Here, you got 15.’ ... What I believe is that [the Nuggets] gave him 15 to try to erase what I did.” he said, dead serious.

According to Carmelo Anthony, in Colorado, they believed that the talented basketball player from Sombor, who had previously played only for Mega and was selected as the 41st pick in the draft, would become the best player in the franchise’s History. He went on to win two MVP awards in the league. He was also named MVP of the finals, in which Colorado won the national basketball championship - Anthony did not offer any answer to that question.

When he played for them, Nikola Jokić wore the number “15″ in Mega Basket (his former Serbian team) and the Serbian national team.

One of those who was speechless at this public performance of the great shooter was his coach from their days together in Colorado, George Karl.
