Former NBA star Carmelo Anthony is mistakenly trending.There seems to be confusion between the 42-year-old Anthony and the young Texas native Karmelo Anthony, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison by a Texas jury on Tuesday, June 9, following a 2025 fatal stabbing of a fellow student.This isn't a case of that Spider-Man meme. The two are not related and have zero connection to each other.Anthony spent 19 seasons in the NBA, playing with the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunde
