Carmelo Anthony probably won’t be coming home to play basketball anytime soon, but the NBA superstar still holds a special place for his hometown.
Anthony has a tattoo that says “WB” for West Baltimore on his shoulder, and was spotted amid protests in the wake of Freddie Gray’s death last spring. Now, Melo has a new video out that shows Baltimore’s harbor views, West Baltimore streets. Of course, it also features Carmelo playing in a gym at the Robert C. Marshall Recreation Center.
On this trip, Anthony also brought his son. “People see what they want to see, so for me to be able to bring a different light to this city and a different light to this neighborhood, it was only right for me to do that,” he says in the video, which also appears to be a shoe commercial.
