Carmelo Anthony's moves make one reminiscent of Bernard King, Adrian Dantley and Alex English. From the last two decades he shoulders the load of being the leader on offense. He is capable of scoring from anywhere from the court and turn the prospects of team. His has swiftness and is smooth with the ball. Though he lacks explosive leaping ability he exhibits great athleticism with a quick first step which helps him gain separation from his defender to set-up his drive. Due to his flexible body and clever moves he has the creativity and vision to make the plays magnificent. He can shoot from mid-range or behind the 3-point line. When leading Anthony is an excellent finisher.  The game he played at Oak Hill as a senior improved his game significantly. He very well uses his size and strength to back players down and score over them or draw fouls. Creates well off the dribble with a nice crossover.

He feels the game in his blood and has really worked hard to develop his upper body strength. It seems he has also started to refine his low post moves also.
