Carmelo Anthony continues to give back to the community.

The New York Knicks guard is in Puerto Rico, where he held his annual charity golf tournament and built a basketball court over the weekend, as shown in this video shared by his wife, La La.

Through The Carmelo Anthony Foundation, the New York native has been building basketball courts for children in disadvantaged socioeconomic areas in Syracuse, N.Y. and Puerto Rico, where his late father is from.

Joining Melo on the Caribbean island for some team-building activities are fellow Knicks Derrick Rose, Courtney Lee, Sasha Vujacic, Lance Thomas, Justin Holiday, Marshall Plumlee, and Kyle O'Quinn.

"A Few good Men" A couple people missing. You get the point though. #AVeryMeloWeekend2016 #StayMe7o
