Carmelo Anthony Reveals If He Would Ever Coach

Being a great NBA player doesn’t necessarily mean a player would be a great NBA coach.

The same goes for the other way around.

Some players weren’t meant to coach, and others just don’t want to.

At least, not in the pros.

Notably, that seems to be the case with Carmelo Anthony.

In the latest edition of his “7 PM in Brooklyn” podcast, the legendary forward admitted that he would only like to coach a high school program.

The guys see Rondo being an NBA coach someday, but what about themselves?

Melo: "I would take over a high school program … I'd rather put my passion into high school."

That makes sense for someone like Melo.

He had multiple go-to moves, outstanding footwork, and knew all the tricks as a scorer.

He’s also passed the torch and his knowledge to his son, Kiyan, so he knows how to reach out to the next generation.

Anthony doesn’t get enough credit for his career.

People also seem to forget how different he was as a player when he first entered the league.

Melo was a high-flying dunker who made the most of his athleticism to get to his spots.

Once that quick burst faded away, he evolved into a strong, bully-ball, spot-up shooter.

He had an innate gift for scoring but also had to work tirelessly on his craft to develop ways to stay relevant.

Hopefully, he’ll have the opportunity to share his knowledge and expertise with the next generation of hoopers.
