Syracuse basketball legend and NBA star Carmelo Anthony is working on docuseries following his life and career, according to a report from Deadline.
The four-part series will chronicle Anthony’s childhood, basketball exploits and who he is today, Deadline says. The project promises the truth behind notable moments in Anthony’s career, some of which he has never spoken about publicly.
The project will also explore who Anthony is at practice, after games and with his family.
“The biggest question everyone is probably thinking is — why now? Why choose this moment to tell my story? The short of it is I’ve spent enough time letting other people speak for me. It’s time for my truth,” Anthony said, according to Deadline. “I look forward to viewers finally having the opportunity to hear about my journey in my own words.”
The series will be titled “Seven,” after Anthony’s jersey number. Anthony is working on the project with Westbook Studios and Falkon Entertainment. His own company, Creative 7, is also producing.
Deadline didn’t have any details on when or where the series will be available.
Anthony cemented his legacy at Syracuse University with just one season at the school, helping the team win its only national championship in 2003. He went on to play for multiple NBA teams including the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers.
He won three gold medals and one bronze at the Summer Olympics in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 with the U.S. national men’s team.
