Former NBA player Carmelo Anthony didn’t only take time touring around Manila but also made sure to reconnect with some of his Filipino friends.
True to his promise, NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony visited La Salle Greenhills’ Santi Romero after watching the Gilas-Lebanon game Sunday. Anthony and Romero stayed at the same apartment in New York two years ago.
It turned out the former Lakers star is good friends with the young La Salle guard as they share the same conditioning coach in New York and stayed in the same apartments in 2021 and early 2022. Anthony actually even visited Romero in their house at the posh Makati subdivision and stayed there for seven hours talking about basketball.
Santi Romero’s friends, including La Salle-Zobel’s Champ Arejola and father Erick, were glad to personally see and greet one of NBA’s certified stars.
