Anthony is back shooting 50 percent, and once he finds that damn touch, he'll be in the top three in the league.

If I were to write a novel about Antony, I would try to open the book with a "Hundred Years of solitude" opening:

"Years from now, lying at home in front of ESPN, Carmelo Anthony will remember the night he entered the draft."

It's a name that's been around for a long time, and I'll look back at Anthony's NBA journey in a future story. But what I want to explore here is another sense of the record.

Where is fantasy, where is reality. "The Favored Son of Heaven"? Lifelong enemy of the "First Man in the League"? The offense's biggest splash? Or is it too difficult to continue playing basketball today?

It's all real, but from a certain point of view, it feels like a dream.

Between this fantasy and reality, Anthony felt lonely. In this loneliness, he was more puzzled about where he had gone the wrong road and ended up in this state today.

Anthony was born on May 29, 1984, in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

There's nothing special about this place, and if you're a big fan of the X-Men franchise, you might remember the extreme humanist Steven Lang who, while trying to eliminate mutants, deliberately shot down the plane of the colonel who got in his way. And the shooting site, it was in Red Hook.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Anthony's life. He's not a big fan of Marvel, nor has he spent much of his life in the place. Anthony's father, a Puerto Rican, fell in love with his mother, an African-American, and they chose this place to have the birth of their love, nothing more.

When Anthony was eight, the family moved out, and Baltimore became his new home. Here, Anthony showed his talent and interest in basketball, and began his road to basketball.

Unbeknownst to the world, a new star is rising at the speed of flight and will soon shine upon the world.

Anthony spent the first three years of high school at Towson Catholic High School, and in 2001, Anthony was named the Baltimore Sun's Metro Player and BaltimoreCatholic League Most Valuable Player, the first step in his basketball resume takes on a halo.

The second step, Anthony decided to move on to a bigger stage, Oak Hill High School - the nation's top basketball high school, Anthony was a good choice.

He transferred to Oak Hill after his senior year. While attending Oak Hill, Anthony was named to the McDonald's All-American team, won the Sprite dunk contest, and was named to the first Team All-American and Parade All-American team. His senior year, Anthony led Oak Hill High School to a 32-1 record and once posted a "quadruple double" in a single game.

In a year of crushing performances, Anthony has not been without his fair share of rivals. St. Mary's High School player, the face of the country, I heard that the name of the national talent. Anthony and lebron scored 34 and 36 points, respectively, in a blowout game that ended in Oak Hill's victory.

Anthony didn't know it at the time, but this opponent was going to be the future first player in the NBA. At least back then, Anthony was able to clap his chest and say, I played that guy. It was probably 50-50. And no one doubts that.

Anthony had a lot of confidence in himself and brought that confidence with him to Syracuse. What followed was proof that Anthony's confidence was not misplaced. Anthony was an unrivaled player in the NCAA, leading Syracuse to the NCAA championship in his first year.

Averaging 22.2 points, 10 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, Anthony was named the NCAA Freshman Player of the Year. It was also the first first-year player to win the NCAA Final Four's most Outstanding Athlete award since Louisiana's Pevis Ellison in 1986.

Lebron, on the other hand, has undoubtedly become one of the best high school students in the United States. As small forwards, the two have begun to shine together, and in the media's love of hype, the two have become lifelong enemies.

The 2003 draft, a year that was destined to go down in history only after the 1996 Golden Generation. This year, lebron became the No. 1 overall pick and began his rescue of Cleveland. Anthony became the scout, saddled up to the Denver Plateau and began his career.

No one could have doubted Anthony's talent for a second, and soon a string of accolades began to fill the first page of Anthony's NBA resume:

On November 8, 2003, Anthony scored 30 points for the Nuggets against the Clippers, becoming the third youngest player in NBA history to score 30 or more points in a game;

On February 13, 2004, Anthony participated in the All-Star weekend rookie Challenge, scoring 17 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds.

On March 30, 2004, Anthony scored 41 points for the Nuggets against the Supersonics, setting the franchise record for points in a game by a rookie and becoming the second-youngest player in NBA history to score at least 40 points in a game.

On April 2, 2004, after being named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for April, Anthony became the fourth player in NBA history to win all six rookie of the Month awards in one season.

On April 29, 2004, Anthony was named to the All-Rookie first team by unanimous vote.

While it was a shame to lose out on lebron for rookie of the year, it didn't stop the public from raving about Anthony. Not only is the 19-year-old Anthony averaging 21 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, but the Nuggets have gone from the deep sea to the playoffs with him.

Anthony scratched his head, wondering why rookie of the Year honors didn't go to him instead of to the old rival next door. But Anthony did not continue to struggle here, this is only his first season, since can not understand, simply spread his hands, expressed helpless.

Over the next four years, Anthony continued to refine his offensive skills, and the "offensive kaleidoscope" symbolized that the highest level of offensive glory was coming to him. He won the All-Star MVP in 2004-05; The second youngest player to score 5,000 points, he did so on March 17, 2006; He made the All-tournament team in 2005-06.

Accolades are rising, but who would have thought, the delay is precisely about the playoffs such a thing in his first season to win. In other words, after the 2006-07 season, Anthony has been eliminated in the first round four years in a row.

Looking at Allen Iverson, his new teammate with the same furrowed hair, sitting next to him, and looking back at himself averaging nearly 29 points a game -- second only to Kobe Bryant -- Anthony was once again incomprehending. He couldn't stand the postseason, and Anthony decided to give up a little shootout time to his new teammates in order to have good chemistry and try to break through next season.

It seems to have worked out well, with Anthony getting his first 50-win regular season, but that's as good as it gets.

Another first-round exit, another ugly 0-4 sweep, and for the first time, Anthony went from incomprehension to anger.

Life in Denver is slow and boring, and it's hard to find the hustle and bustle of the big city on the high plains. Except for practice and games, Anthony just drives around. Looking at the towering snow-capped mountains, Anthony thought of his old New York life and his tattooed "society" friends with large gold chains.
