Carmelo Anthony and Kiyan Anthony’s bond
There is no doubt that this balling father and son duo have great chemistry, especially because of their mutual interest in the sport. While Kiyan is also a part of the 10x NBA All-Star’s AAU team — Team Melo — the father also ensures that he attends all of his son’s games. Previously, Melo had said that watching his son transform into a full-blown athlete has been very emotional for him.

However, La La Anthony does make sure that the pressure of following his father does not take a toll on Kiyan. In fact, she has publicly said that Kiyan’s path is his own and Carmelo Anthony and his legacy should not be a factor that changes it.
Nevertheless, we see that Kiyan is making some huge waves in his high school basketball career. Being named a top prospect for the 2025 college basketball, Kiyan is also garnering attention from the top names in the industry. He is surely a baller that everyone needs to keep an eye out for. But until then, we know what motivates La La to achieve heights in her field.
