IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!
Carmelo Anthony is teaming up with his bestie, LeBron James — the 10-time All-Star just signed a 1-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers!!!
Of course, LBJ and Melo have been tight for 20 years … but aside from Team USA action, the two never suited up for the same NBA team.
UNTIL NOW!!!
Melo’s manager, Bay Frazier, made the news official on Tuesday … but the official terms of the deal have not been announced just yet.
Anthony is 37 years old now, but the guy has proven he can still hoop — averaging 13 points a game and playing a key role with the Portland Trail Blazers last season.
Anthony is one of the best players of his era — he’s made the All-NBA team 6 times, was the scoring champ in 2013 and is 10th in points in league history.
The signing adds to the Lakers’ big haul through two days of free agency — Trevor Ariza, Kent Bazemore, Wayne Ellington, Malik Monk and Dwight Howard have all agreed to suit up for the Purple and Gold.
