Carmelo Anthony now has three Olympic gold medals, more than any other male basketball player in history.
This was emotional for him — because of the journey, and because he said again he is done and this is his last games — and it showed during a postgame interview on NBC where he almost cried thinking about what all this meant.
Anthony went on to talk a little about social issues in the interview.
“Despite everything that’s going on right now in our country, we’ve got to be united…. America will be great again, I believe that. We’ve got a lot of work to do, but it’s one step at a time. And I’m glad we represented in the fashion we did.”
We all are.
