Chapter I - Latino Melo
Born in New York City to a Puerto Rican father and an African American mother, Carmelo Anthony is perhaps the greatest Latino player of all time. Yet, few fans know of his heritage, even Latino hoopers like myself.
Latinos love basketball, and the Latino basketball fanbase continues to grow every year. However, despite it's popularity among the community, few Latinos make it to the sports highest level, which makes the ones that do all the more important to celebrate.
This unique and innovative piece boldly celebrates Melo’s Puerto Rican roots and the worldwide Latino basketball community.
