The Nuggets are only a handful of games into the season but the 1.98m power forward has been one of the best performed players in the league.
He is the competition's leading scorer, averaging 23 points a match, and in the top 10 for rebounds, averaging 8.5 boards.
He also leads the league for two-point percentages, drilling just under 73% of his shots.
His combination of brute force and silky skills is one of the major reasons the Nuggets are 4-0 and on track to make their first appearance in the playoffs since 1997.
If Anthony continues on as he has been going, he will certainly make the all-star five and may nab the MVP title as well.
What do the Breakers do then? They cut the 24-year-old in May last year and still have spots available on their roster for next season.
Anthony made some mistakes off the court which probably contributed to the Breakers' decision to drop the former Tall Black.
He was caught drink-driving the night of the Rugby World Cup final and last year he was suspended by the Breakers for 10 days after he was unable to take a full part in training following a big night out.
He then picked up a stress fracture in his lower leg and was sideline for the remainder of the season. He did not get a chance to make amends on court before he was cut from the side and he wants that opportunity.
''I guess people know that I'm down here playing,'' he responded when asked if he felt as though he had made a statement with his superb form.
''I have not heard from them [the Breakers] but I'm sure they are watching. It is a wait-and-see situation. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.''
While Anthony is pleased with his start, he is focused on maintaining his form.
''You can have one or two good games but it is about creating a good season for yourself and the team.
''It is going well so far. I'm happy to be helping the boys win and happy with how I'm going at the same time.''
A couple of niggles aside, the body is holding up well. Anthony is in better shape now than when he was with the Breakers. He has dropped some weight and his fitness is good, even if he does call for a sub every now and then.
He ran himself to a standstill in the monster 34-point win against the Super City Rangers last month and then again in the shock 33-point drubbing of the Nelson Giants at the Edgar Centre on Sunday afternoon.
The Nuggets will start as favourites against the Waikato Pistons at the Edgar Centre on Friday night despite not having registered a win against the club since 2006.
For Anthony, it is another opportunity to impress against a quality opponent. He will likely take shifts guarding Pistons import Zack Atkinson. Atkinson is the competition's leading rebounder, he is in the top five for scoring and the No 1 player in the power rankings.
Anthony is in the No 2 spot and can reverse the order with a strong performance. So does it shape as a bit of duel?''Definitely. I'm a competitive person by nature and I really do take that as a challenge. I'm sure he'll be coming at me as hard as I'm going at him.''
If the Nuggets can shut down Atkinson, as well as lively guard Tai Webster, the home side should win comfortably.
