Hoodie Anthony refers to Anthony (Melon) who is in better condition after being specially dressed up. Later, it can also refer to other cool people.
Both netizens and 2K officials said that Anthony is at his strongest when wearing a hoodie. Judging from the multiple videos that have been circulated, Anthony always appears in a hoodie and wraps his head tightly. Whether he is running, shooting or participating in confrontation games, he always wears this outfit, and there are also black, White and other different colors.
During the special training, Melo, who was wearing a hoodie, was in extremely brave form. He hit consecutive shots from mid- to long-range and was unstoppable. According to the exposed video, Anthony faced James many times. When defending, he sent the ball into the basket. Some netizens said: "Anthony playing with a hat is extremely effective."
In a previous interview, JR Smith also talked about wearing a hoodie. Anthony, who plays basketball, said: "Anthony looks inhumane when he plays with a hat on. Although he usually plays equally well, when he puts on a hoodie, it's a completely different feeling. I prefer the hoodie. Anthony in the hoodie."

As for the reason why Anthony wears the hoodie, he has not personally explained it, but his friend JR Smith said in an interview. "Anthony in a hoodie is very relaxed and has no restraints. Regular Anthony always has a bodyguard next to him. I can accept both kinds of Anthony, but I prefer Anthony in a hoodie."
Some netizens also speculated "After wearing the hoodie, it's like a sniper scope. Although the field of view becomes smaller, the relative concentration is stronger, so the shooting rate is higher."
After Hoodie Anthony's meme went viral, Anthony also updated a tweet: "The wolf on the mountain top does not have the hunger of the wolf climbing the mountain." It seems to be a response to the outside world, but also an encouragement to oneself.
