The Atlanta Hawks sent Carmelo Anthony a jersey to commemorate his short time with Atlanta.

Anthony spent five days as a member of the Hawks before finalizing his buyout. He was waived by the Hawks on July 30. According to Yahoo Sports NFL Insider Shams Charania, Anthony verbally agreed to sign with the Houston Rockets on Aug. 7.

Los Angeles Laker LeBron James jokingly congratulated Anthony for his time in Atlanta on Twitter, commenting under the Hawks initial tweet.
