Carmelo Anthony, a member of the Men’s USA Basketball Team has cited the University of East London’s £21million SportsDock facility as being a major factor behind the team’s success to date so far in the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Speaking to UEL at a training session in SportsDock, Team USA’s training camp for the Olympics, he responded with his thoughts on whether the facility has helped influence the team’s success, he commented: “I would say big time; I didn’t realise that until now. When I was growing up, the training facilities were terrible. I think people really need to utilise this facility.”
