NextImg:NBC hires Carmelo Anthony to join network’s NBA coverage next season

Carmelo Anthony has a new job.

The former Knick and 10-time All-Star will join NBC Sports as a studio analyst next season.

He’ll make his debut with NBC and Peacock this October, when the NBA returns to the network.

That’s shortly after Anthony is enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in September.

“Watching the NBA on NBC growing up shaped my love for the game,” Anthony said. “Now, I’m thrilled to join the NBC Sports family. I’ve always used my platform to help grow the game, and I’m excited to bring fans a fresh perspective as we usher in a new era of NBA coverage and programming.”

The plan is for Anthony to be in the studio at least one night a week throughout the regular season and playoffs beginning next season.

Anthony has been a regular presence at the Garden, as well as in the media, since he last played in the league in 2022 with the Lakers, the final stop in a 19-year NBA career following his time at Syracuse.

Anthony, who turns 41 later this month, hosts a weekly podcast, “7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony,” but this will be his first broadcasting role.

He’ll join a lineup at NBC that is also set to include Mike Tirico, Noah Eagle, Jamal Crawford and Reggie Miller.

The announcement was made Saturday during NBC’s coverage of the Kentucky Derby.
