Football predictions

Carmelo Anthony has been playing professional basketball since 2003 and has never been a match in the NBA. The 2013 League Toplistator started invariably in Denver, New York and Oklahoma City starters in 1054 consecutive matches, but now this series looks set to end with his coming to Houston. With its end, Carmelo will also be forgiven with the chance to grab a record that Patrick Ewing is currently holding.

The legendary center of New York started as a champion in 1118 consecutive duels, which means that if Anthony starts in the first 65 games of Rockets, he will overtake the Nixon icon. His role in Rockets, however, would deprive him of this opportunity, because with pre-season training Carmelo was on the bench, and the expectation is that this will continue with the start of the actual games. `I understand very well what my role is, I will need to get used to it because it is a psychological moment, ` Anthony commented on his new role and added that he had no problems with Mike D!', said Anthony, with whom he did not part as best as possible in New York. Up to date, Anthony and Ewing are the only two basketball players to have started their first 1000 games in the Association and then continue their series 0 to 1054 and 1118 respectively. Ewing takes the role of reserve only in the season2001/2002, which is under No. 17 for him in the League and in which he gets only 13. 9 minutes on average per match as a player of Magic. For comparison, LeBron James has only one match away from the title but it is not exactly for him that he falls next to Carmelo and Pat Ewing in the 1000-game standings in the starting five. The king started on the bench on December 11, 2007, when he did not play in the previous five games due to hand injury. So he recorded 999 of his first 1000 games, and this is the only meeting in which he was a reserve - one of 1143 matches advised by football livescore
