go one-on-one with Carmelo Anthony, one of the best players on the planet.
He’s a six-time NBA all-star, two-time Olympic medalist, a humanitarian1 and X. When Adweek magazine asked me and Carmelo Anthony to shoot some hoops2, and talked about everything from our business ventures to fashion, I was all in.
Do you think that people stereotype3 you?
The only stereotype I get a lot is when I do these other business ventures, and is like “Oh, he is an athlete”. For me it’s like that I hate to hear that. Always he is just an athlete, he’s just…the only thing he knows(?) is playing basketball. You know, I try to do a lot of different stuff, you know, from fashion to tech to art to…you know, I just try to broad my brand. Basketball is my foundation, but I kind of use that as a launching pad for everything else.
So you have an entertainment company as well. Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
We have a production company or a management company. I get three shows on them now. And I see myself for five years on a yacht in the Caribbean. Done. I’m joking.
I’m with you on that.
But, you know, I love the work. So for me, in five years, I hope I could continue expanding what I’m doing, and just kind of taking opportunities when they come because I think what I do now is nothing new that I would imagine I will be doing.
Right.
X the opportunity just came that I was able to take advantage of.
I have a question for you. How many pairs of shoes do you own? You have the dining shoes, Jordan brand shoes, your own mellow4. I know you guys…What size do you wear first of all?
14.
Okay. When you are tired of them, I wear 14.
It’s your couple.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
I got the whole row rack for you, stories.
We got this on tape then.
I know.
Okay. I’m all good with that. How many pairs do you have personally?
I stopped counting after like…
After what?
1,000.
After 1,000. 1000 pairs of shoes.
I'm a real sneaker-head, though.
And one heck of a good guy.
Thank you, man.
My brother. Always.
Send me my shoes.
I will laugh at the end of that piece. But I’m not laughing when I say: “Carmelo, where are my shoes?” I’m still waiting.
