Ten-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony turned back the clock with his impressive performance for Portland Trail Blazers against Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.

Carmelo 'Melo' Anthony led all scorers in Toronto on Tuesday.

NBA star Carmelo Anthony was without a club not long ago. He had signed a one-year contract with the Portland Trail Blazers on November 19, 2019.

Back then, people thought the forward from USA was way past his best and the Trail Blazers were taking a risk with his signing. However, on Tuesday, he proved his worth once again with his best performance of the 2019-20 NBA season against the Toronto Raptors.
