\n Carmelo Anthony once looked like he would never return to the NBA. Now, he looks like he did when he first entered the league.<\/p>\n

Anticipating the return of Portland big men Zach Collins and Jusuf Nurkic for the NBA restart, Anthony spent much of the pandemic preparing to return to the small forward position and arrived in Orlando app<\/a>earing considerably thinner and more toned than he has in years.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old, who has played power forward since his time with the Knicks, said he adopted a \u201cvery intense, very healthy diet\u201d and altered his workout routines over the past few months in order to improve his speed and conditioning.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I had that in the back of my mind, once coach told me the position, that I\u2019d be switching back to the 3,\u201d the Blazers forward said. \u201cI kind of challenged myself to get down to that weight where I feel comfortable with playing the 3, comfortable running around and utilizing things I can do within our system from playing the 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a big motivation for me to come back at that exact weight or around that weight, 230, 235. I haven\u2019t seen 230, 235 since early, early in my career. So now it puts me back in a mindset of that from a confidence standpoint, knowing that I was able to get back to that. On the court I feel good, I feel healthy. I have a lot of clarity, too. All of that was part of the plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can definitely tell a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Anthony said he lost only about five pounds, teammate CJ McCollum noticed the difference, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him he looks like he lost weight, but he hasn\u2019t lost that many pounds,\u201d McCollum said. \u201cIt\u2019s more so turning some of the fat into muscle and leaning out. But he\u2019s always around the same weight. He just carries it different. So when he has those little tights on and the muscle shirt, he looks thinner, but he\u2019s moving well, he\u2019s in good shape, and he\u2019s ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another phase in Anthony\u2019s career is set to begin.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery summer, it\u2019s a different name for me,\u201d Anthony said. \u201cThis summer is Skinny Melo. There\u2019s Hoodie Melo, USA Melo, there\u2019s so many different Melos out there. But at the end of the day, I\u2019m me.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
