A basketball renaissance has emerged in Denver as the Nuggets have reawakened. Adding a mile high boost to the team is rookie superstar Carmelo Anthony. After winning an NCAA title as a freshman at Syracuse University, Anthony brought his winning attitude to the Rockies. Playing with a maturity uncharacteristic of a 19 year old rookie, Anthony has instantly become Denver's top scoring option. The Nuggets' future now seems as bright as Carmelo's trademark smile. Carmelo Anthony has hand signed this Spalding NBA basketball. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
