LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and a 38yo NBA star share the stage with Carmelo Anthony

A few NBA veterans made headlines with unexpected retirement news this year, with 10-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony‘s update coming as a big surprise. The mid-range killer took the internet by storm a few weeks back with an emotional video. Now, his best buddies from the NBA decided to honor the legend at the ESPYs.?

Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade and the All-Time scoring leader were joined by 38-year-old Chris Paul. Though the 12-time All-Star belongs to a different draft class, he spent most of his memorable off-court moments with these legends. Remember the banana boat ride?

Watch this story: “Where will Damian Lillard go?“

All eyes were on the 4-time MVP James who was honored with an award for the ‘Best Record-Breaking Performance’. Well, this is not the first ESPYs for the King. Back in 2004, James got the ESPYs for ‘Breakthrough Athlete of the Year’. Anyhow, this wasn’t the only highlight today!

Carmelo Anthony, who was honored with a tribute from the ESPYs, had a lot to say. However, the one cold bar at the end of his speech, “When in doubt, Stay MELO!”?gave the fans goosebumps.?

Fans understandably got emotional witnessing the four legends of the game share the stage together. From countless battles on the court to hilarious antics off it, the banana boat crew has left an indelible mark in NBA history. The reactions on social media to the emotional moment are a testament to their greatness.

NBA buffs bring out their emotional side for a harsh reality

Though the 4-time champion James announced he was not retiring yet, we all know he is just a few years away from a farewell. The same goes for the ‘Point God’ CP3. Wade and Anthony are already done. Now next in line are James and Paul.?

Clearly, the NBA buffs are having a tough time accepting this reality. These legends have entertained us for 20 years. Now, in a few more years, the harsh reality of them retiring will be witnessed.

Chris Paul, Anthony, and James were last seen together at Dwyane Wade’s final game in the NBA. Now the four have got together again for the Nuggets legend Anthony.

All these four legends were also seen at the 2016 ESPYs previously with similar drippy outfits.

All things considered, looks like the fans are taking a moment to appreciate what these superstars have given to the game.
