The end has arrived for one of the best shooters of his generation. When Carmelo Anthony suited up in the NBA, he was so much fun to watch. Not only that, but he also won the National Championship with Syracuse.

He will always be loved for his fantastic play with the New York Knicks. Now, people are honoring Anthony on Monday. That's because he took to Twitter to announce that he's hanging up his sneakers, officially retiring from the game.

Anthony, please take a bow. He made countless big shots throughout his career. He never won the NBA Finals, but that doesn't take away from his incredible career. Cheers to him.
