Real Player Ratings for Carmelo Anthony and the Syracuse Orangemen: 2003 College Basketball Champions

Here are the basic Real Player Ratings (RPR) for the NCAA college Champion Syracuse Orangemen from six years (and a few months) ago, featuring Carmelo Anthony before he became a rebel who refuses to come out of games, laugh out loud.

Note #1: due to lack of data and inadequate sample size if there were data, the following is basic or classic RPR and not state of the art RPR, which is adjusted for hidden defending.
Note #2: The ratings cover BOTH the regular season and the NCAA tournament.

CARMELO ANTHONY: HISTORICAL SUPERSTAR IN COLLEGE BUT NOT IN THE NBA
Notice that Carmelo Anthony was an "Historical Superstar" in college, but he has been merely a Superstar in the NBA. In fact, this past season, he was just barely over the line separating Star from Superstar. He had a higher rating in the three prior years than he did this year.

The bottom line is that, relative to other players, he has not been quite as good in the NBA as he was in College. So something has gone a little wrong in the NBA for him.

It could have something to do with this Karl guy. You never know. Oh, you actually might know if you read Quest.

WEBMASTER NOTES: The video players we use take extra time to load, 30-90 seconds more than the rest of the page. The video players, so far as we know now, work in any browser. The Photobucket slideshow embed is not meshing with Google, so I off-linked it. Always remember that Firefox is the heavily recommended browser for the Quest home page.
