The Garden and the New York fans still love Carmelo Anthony.

The former Knicks superstar returned to MSG with son Kiyan for Game 2 of the team’s Eastern Conference playoff series with the Heat on Tuesday night.

He received a loud ovation when he was shown on the video board and labeled a “Knicks” legend.

Anthony, 38, first waved to the crowd and then stood up and opened his arms to them, thanking them for the love – patting his chest as he returned to his seat.

He was later shown on the TNT broadcast absolutely loving Jalen Brunson’s late fourth-quarter trey in the Knicks’ 111-105 win over the Heat.

The Anthonys were sitting front row next to comedian Mike Myers and his son Spike.

The NBA’s official account tweeted a video of Anthony being greeted by some familiar faces courtside prior the game — including Knicks superfan Spike Lee.

He also was photographed with Kentucky coach John Calipari.

Anthony last played at The Garden in November 2021 for the Lakers and was their for a Big East Tournament game in March and Knicks-76ers in December.

Anthony, who played six-plus seasons in New York from 2010-17, last appeared in an NBA game for the Lakers last April.

He didn’t not link up with a team this year after 21 seasons in the league.

He averaged 24.7 points, seven rebounds and 2.3 assists with the Knicks while making the All-Star team each season.

Anthony led the Knicks to the playoffs three times, including their last playoff series win prior to this season in 2012-13.

The Knicks won 54 games that season.

Kiyan Anthony’s hoops career is just getting started.

The highly regarded recruit played two-plus season at Christ the King before transferring to Long Island Lutheran late in his sophomore season.
