The Carmelo Anthony NYC take-over culminated in the NYC Flight Event that was held last night at Pier 54. The red carpet was rolled out for Carmelo Anthony, who arrived wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket and some matching shades. Queens native and hip-hop legend Nas provided some live tunes for the event, which was also co-hosted by Angie Martinez of HOT 97 and DC Enuff. Carmelo was also joined by another surprise guest – Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets; The two Jordan Brand athletes spent time with the eventgoers, who were excited to meet and greet the latest superstar in the New York Knicks’ storied history. At the event was a display of Carmelo’s Jordan sneaker history, an arcade-style basketball game, and video of Carmelo Anthony projected onto the water! Check out a quick recap of the night’s events as well as a video recap and if you missed out on the event, you can still capture some of the Melo magic by visiting the Flight Lab 159 installation!
