Carmelo Anthony hasn’t been a player in the NBA for a few years, but he still cares for the game and wants the league to succeed.
Speaking on his podcast, “7PM In Brooklyn,” Anthony revealed that he would be interested in purchasing a team.
Anthony actually has a team in mind, according to the video shared by Legion Hoops: he would like to buy the Washington Wizards.
Anthony said he has what it takes to run a team and would approach it like owning a business.

He said that his years in the league make him perfectly suited to lead the Wizards.
He knows the ins and outs of the game and what it is like to be a player.
That would allow him to make very smart decisions when it comes to the members of the Wizards, the coaching staff, and more.
However, Anthony admitted that he also knows what he isn’t capable of and is well aware of his shortcomings.
So he would make the wise choice of hiring the right people who have the knowledge and experience he is missing.
Anthony made it clear that he would be a hands-on owner, but not too hands-on.
He may not buy the Wizards, but he sounded very serious about becoming the owner of an NBA team, so perhaps this will happen in the future.
When he played, he was considered one of the smartest stars in the NBA.
So, can he take that high IQ and knowledge and use it to successfully own a team?
