Carmelo Anthony Not in Sight as Many Knicks Legends Express Strong Emotions Courtside vs Celtics

Madison Square Garden is erupting. The New York Knicks, a team longing for success for decades, are now one step away from the NBA Finals. The crowd roared behind every bucket. But the emotions of those who strived and fell short in the past summed up the long-awaited celebrations the Knicks faithful have been waiting for. There was just one surprise. Carmelo Anthony wasn’t in the crowd for the momentous occasion.

Nearly every other Knicks icon was jumping out of their seats, galloping in pride as Jalen Brunson and Co. sealed their ticket to the first Conference Finals since 2000. Stephon Marbury couldn’t stay seated as the Knicks vanquished their historic rivals. Even Walt Frazier, the last legend to lead the Knicks to a title, had a wide smile.

The only missing person was Melo. Usually, the Knicks legend makes an appearance during such moments. His energy courtside is vivacious, as was clear during Team USA’s Paris Olympic final. Sadly, he missed one of the most key moments in the Knicks’ franchise history. They made a leap that seemed far from possible over the last 20 years.
