Former Denver Nuggets star and future Hall-of-Famer Carmelo Anthony still has love for the team he broke in with. Recently attending a Nuggets Summer League game, Anthony caught up with Vic Lombardi of Altitude TV, and was asked abut his feelings towards Denver.

"It's never no hard feelings for me, I still have all the love in the world for the city of Denver," Anthony said. "I'm there a lot, people just don't know I'm in town. I'm there a lot, I spend a lot of time there in Denver still. I'm sure you'll see me now at a couple more games, and just coming and being a fan."

Anthony said he was very happy to see the Nuggets win a title, which was cool to hear from the former Nuggets star. Spending the first eight seasons of his career in Denver, Anthony was selected to four All-Star teams with the Nuggets, and is still near the top of several leaderboards. 

While Anthony wasn't able to deliver a championship to Denver, he was part of a major turnaround for that city, and still has love from a lot of fans there. This was part of the discussion he had with Lombardi, who reminded the former Nuggets star that so many people became fans of the team because of him and what he did during his time there.
