Fashion Transformation: Carmelo Anthony's Off-Court Style

Carmelo Anthony's 43 points to help the New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls in overtime last night might be what the sports world is talking about today, but we are looking back at his fashion hits and misses. He has come a long way since bursting onto the scene as a standout freshmen at Syracuse in 2002.

He was picked up by the Denver Nuggets in the draft the following year. He was traded to the New York Knicks last year where he has helped turn the team around. His wife, La La Vazquez-Anthony, has been along for the excitement and we are pretty sure she had something to do with streamlining his b-ball boy style.

Check out how far Melo has come in achieving his slam dunk style.

Back in 2006 at T-Mobile Basketball's Rising Stars Celebration in New York City, Carmelo tried to look like an actual star in his bright yellow over-sized bandana shirt with a matching bucket hat.

To stand out even more, he added a silver and gold chain necklace. We understand why La La looks frightened in the picture.
