What are some of the lesser known stories of nba players?

Anthony was born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York, on May 29, 1984. His father is Puerto Rican and his mother, Mary, is African American. When Anthony was 8, his family moved to Baltimore, where he honed not only his motor skills, but his survival skills. Anthony had two brothers, Robert and Wilford, an older sister, Michelle (deceased), and a half-sister, Daphne. He was named after his father, who died of liver failure before his third birthday. Without a breadwinner, Merrow's mother, Mary, had to raise the baby and his three-year-old brother and sister on her own. Kenny Maina, Anthony's childhood friend, said: "From drugs to homicides to anything you can think of that continues to happen in the city's most dangerous neighbourhoods, we see so much. These things teach you tenacity and keep you mentally focused on your goals." Every NBA player has his own basketball inspiration, and Anthony is no exception. His first basketball idol in life was actually a rather obscure ancient star, the "King of New York" Bernard King.

Small forward Bernard King, the NBA's best scorer, played for the Knicks from 1977 to 1993 and in his prime from 1982 to 1987. In fact, Anthony was born in 1984, and the Bernard King he entered basketball with was a late-career Bernard King, not the Knicks' version of the King of New York.

At the time, Lala, who was four years Anthony's senior, was already a celebrity TV host and the couple, who helped out Guagua, fell in love with each other and married in 2010.
