Carmelo Anthony is headed to Springfield.

The New York Knicks legend, NCAA champion and three-time Olympic gold medalist has been selected for induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame on his first ballot.

Although he never won an NBA title, Anthony did make 10 All-Star appearances and six All-NBA teams over 19 seasons after winning a national title in his only season at Syracuse.

Anthony was among a number of finalists for the honor, including Dwight Howard, Sue Bird, Sylvia Fowles, Maya Moore and Jennifer Azzi as well as Miami Heat owner Micky Arison.
