The Magic Dynasty: The Third Pick Who Turned Down Denver

Everyone thought LeBron was the only king of the 2003 draft class, until the man named Carmelo turned down Denver.

“He's crazy! He actually refused to play for a team picking in the top ten?”

“He actually asked to join the Orlando Magic, a team in the grip of a losing streak?”

Reborn, Anthony gives a cold smile. You only see my arrogance, not the tactical playbook in my head, twenty years ahead of the league.

He will save McGrady's fragile spine. He will stop Yao Ming from putting on weight until it kills him.

The moment the “Yao-McGrady-Melo” Big Three unite in Orlando, the whole league realizes that the Melon, once known only for offense, has become the mastermind controlling the fate of every game.

“A championship? No. I want an era that belongs to Orlando.”
