“The initial thoughts… one of our greatest basketball players is hanging it up,” George told Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints. “Just being a friend, a little brother, a teammate, I just hope he did it on his terms and he’s happy with this decision.”

This is not all, George also said, “Somebody as great as him, you would hope that he has a chance to ride out when he’s ready to.”

“For a guy that’s built a legacy and has been a legend in our game for so long, it comes to a point that he’s chasing something. And he’s chasing the best version of himself. As long as he’s happy with the decision and he’s comfortable with the decision I’m happy for him.

“But we are losing one of the best to ever play this game. I hope the next part of his life is even more successful than this part of his life.”

Despite having some “unfortunate off-the-court issues”, Anthony didn’t let it pull him down and affect his career. This is the reason everyone regards him as All Time Best and all his peers admires him so much.
