Carmelo Anthony told AdWeek that his coming home to New York influenced LeBron James’ decision to go back to Cleveland. Anthony was doing a Q&A with Michael Strahan.

Strahan: (On being a pro athlete in New York) Not only on the court, but off the court, you’re the leader. Everything you do is more scrutinized. You have to be more careful than anybody else. And watching LeBron [James] go back to Cleveland, did that affect your decision on staying in New York, and did you learn anything from watching LeBron go back home?

Anthony: No. Honestly, I think it was the other way around. I think he saw when I came back home to New York and saw the response and saw the reaction and saw how at peace I was when I came back home. ... I’m pretty sure he looked at that moment and saw that that was a very special moment, and he had the opportunity to go back home himself and regain that love.

Anthony, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, and lived the first seven years of his life there, was acquired by his hometown Knicks in a blockbuster trade on Feb. 22, 2011. He then signed a three-year, $65 million extension with the Knicks.

Anthony became a free agent this offseason, but re-upped with New York on a five-year pact worth $124 million. On July 12, 2014, James, who was born and raised in Cleveland, returned home following a four-year stint in Miami, signing a free-agent contract with the Cavaliers.
