T-5. Carmelo Anthony: 6

Carmelo Anthony was selected to the NBA All-Star Game for the 10th time in his illustrious career during the 2016-17 season. It was his sixth selection as a member of New York Knicks, which places him in a two-way tie for No. 5 on this list.

Through all of the highs and lows, Anthony has continued to play at a star-caliber level and has thus earned his place as one of the greatest scorers in franchise history.

Anthony has made the All-Star Game in all six of his applicable seasons with the Knicks. The one exception based on a technicality was 2011, when he was traded from the Denver Nuggets to New York after the All-Star Game.

Even upon excluding that appearance, Anthony has become one of the most prolific players in franchise history with both his individual play and leadership.

Anthony became the second Knick in franchise history to win the scoring title during the 2012-13 campaign. During that same season, he was named to the All-Star Game and All-NBA Second Team, and led New York to its first division title since 1994.

Anthony will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame at some point in the future and his tenure with the Knicks will be a primary reason why.
