Carmelo Anthony, the star forward who led Syracuse to an NCAA championship in his lone college season and went on to spend 19 years in the NBA, has announced his retirement.

Anthony, who was not in the NBA this season, retires as the No 9 scorer in league history. Only LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki, Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O’Neal scored more than Anthony – who finishes his career with 28,289 points. “Now the time has come for me to say good-bye ...

to the game that gave me purpose and pride,” Anthony said in a videotaped message announcing his decision – one he called “bittersweet”.
