Syracuse to retire Carmelo Anthony’s No. 15 jersey
Just got word that Jim Boeheim and the Syracuse basketball team plans to retire Carmelo Anthony’s jersey. Boeheim told a reporter from NBAFanhouse that the team is waiting for a game that works with Anthony’s NBA schedule in order to hold the official ceremony.
According to university policy, the team only retires jerseys, not numbers. So, technically there could be another No. 15 in the future, although Boeheim said it’s not likely.
‘Melo joins the ranks of Dave Bing, Derrick Coleman, Sherman Douglas, Vic Hanson, Billy Gabor, Billy Owens, Wilmeth Sidat-Singh, Rony Seikaly, and Dwayne “Pearl” Washington, whose jerseys all hang from the rafters of the Carrier Dome.
The former Orange star will be in Syracuse next Thursday for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new Carmelo K. Anthony Center next to Manley Field House.
