Ask any person who was born in New York and you’ll hear the pride exude from their voice when they talk about their city. Carmelo Anthony is no different.
In conjunction with today’s official launch of the Melo 9, Jordan brand has released a short film, “Playing for the City That Made Me.”

Carmelo’s mother, brother and childhood friends also weight in on their NYC pride and how much it meant not only to them, but to Carmelo as well.
