After nearly 8 years, the Carmelo Anthony era is over in Denver. During his tenure with the Nuggets, the swingman from Syracuse took the franchise to new heights, and became one of the most recognizable faces in Denver sports.

However, his time in Denver wasn't all smooth sailing. Brushes with the law, skirmishes with coaches, and a seeming inability to take the Nuggets over the hump are just as much a part of his Denver legacy.
