He was given the No. 15 jersey — a move many viewed as …

He was given the No. 15 jersey — a move many viewed as a slight to Carmelo Anthony’s legacy, considering the forward’s departure from Denver hadn’t been on the best of terms. On his podcast “7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo,”Antony reflected on the situation. “It was cool. You can’t take away what I did in Denver — this is a whole new thing. That’s like me being upset at Alex English before I came in. No, I wanted to embrace Alex English. It’s similar with Joker. He’s one of the greatest players of all time, but I think the narrative could get misconstrued,” Melo said. Co-host Kazeem Famuyide pointed out that “to a fan’s eye, they’re going to see a great Denver Nuggets player comes to Denver, wears 15, of course, Melo is not gonna like it.”
