Former Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony recently voiced displeasure over the team swiftly assigning his No. 15 jersey to Nikola Jokic, labeling it a “petty maneuver.”
Anthony, who spent eight seasons with the Nuggets, suggested the move aimed to diminish his legacy within the organization, calling it a deliberate act rather than a routine jersey assignment.
Despite Anthony’s critique, Jokic has thrived in the No. 15 jersey, earning two league MVP awards, a Finals MVP, and leading the Nuggets to their first NBA championship last season.
