Carmelo Anthony will forever be a legend to Syracuse fans after he led the Orange to their first-ever national championship in 2003. He posted impressive numbers in his first and only season with Syracuse, averaging 22.0 points, 10.0 boards and 2.2 dimes through 35 games.

Anthony carried the Orange on his back once the NCAA Tournament started, posting double-doubles in the Elite Eight, Final Four and the national championship game. He scored 20 points and grabbed 10 boards in Syracuse's win over Oklahoma in the Elite Eight before racking up 33 points and 14 rebounds in the Final Four against Texas.

He became just the third freshman to win the Most Outstanding Player award in the Final Four after Syracuse defeated Kansas in the 2003 NCAA title game. He led all scorers with 20 points and collected 10 rebounds in the Orange's 81-78 win.
