As USA Today point out, "Anthony had been scheduled to announce the Michigan State-Maryland men's basketball game Saturday in nearby College Park, Maryland."

Ouch. Now Anthony can one-up Charles Barkley after he wasn't officially suspended by TNT after his bust for a DUI (and attempted solicitation) in 2009...

Anthony has become one of the NCAA men's college basketball most respected voices after an up-and-down career as an in-studio and game analyst for the NBA for ESPN from 2002-2008, as per ESPN.

Anthony also played on the UNLV's 1990 NCAA championship team alongside Charlotte Hornets and Knicks superstar Larry Johnson and Atlanta Hawks/Chicago Bulls legend Stacey Augmon.

He was then drafted 12th overall by the Knicks in 1991, moving to the then-Vancouver Grizzlies, then playing for the Seattle Supersonics, Portland Trail Blazers, Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks. He averaged 7.3 points per game across his NBA career.
