Number Four- Carmelo Anthony

"Anthony came into the league with little knowledge about menswear—we’ll never forget his taupe six-button suit at the 2003 NBA Draft—but has made major strides in recent years. Anthony is smart when it comes to tailoring, choosing slim suits and accessorizing with pocket squares and pops of color. -Dan Trepanier"

Melo might not be in New York much longer, but man… that guy can dress.

Like Sports Illustrated’s Dan Trepanier noted, it’s impossible to forget Carmelo Anthony’s six-button suit on draft day. That being said, you just have to respect the journey.

The New York Knick swingman is one of the more stylish guys in New York, and it’s a good thing he figured it out.

He is even designing a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles clothing line with Nickelodeon. So shout out to Melo for his fashion growth, and cracking the top 50 is well deserved.
