7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony

NBA legend Carmelo Anthony and a rotating cast of media-savvy friends talk hoops, culture, and life with top athletes and entertainers.

The brief

A roundtable discussion show led by a modern NBA icon that feels like eavesdropping on a conversation between insiders. Episodes alternate between long-form interviews with major figures and panel discussions reacting to the week in basketball. Carmelo Anthony leverages his status and relationships to create a peer-to-peer dynamic, resulting in candid stories and perspectives you wouldn't hear in a typical press junket.

Carmelo Anthony's active role as both host and mentor is the show's defining feature. Unlike many athlete-fronted podcasts, he drives the conversation, shares vulnerable personal stories from his own career, and uses his relationships to book guests who speak to him with a unique candor.

How the host interviews

Interviews are conducted in a conversational, multi-host, tag-team format. Carmelo Anthony often opens by establishing a personal connection, frequently referencing his own career to create a comfortable, peer-level dynamic. This approach transforms the interview into something of a mentorship session, especially with younger players. Questions are not rapid-fire; instead, the hosts build on each other's points. Co-hosts like Monica McNutt probe specific career or technical details, while others like The Kid Mero inject humor. The conversations flow to a natural conclusion rather than ending with a formulaic closing question.

The show has a relaxed, multi-host, lounge-like conversational style. The format varies between deep-dive guest interviews and host-only roundtable discussions. Carmelo often serves as the group's elder statesman, with co-hosts like The Kid Mero providing comedic relief and Monica McNutt offering sharp, journalistic analysis.
