Remember Carmelo Anthony’s son Kiyan sparking a playful debate and igniting a bit of a family feud? When pulled into the GOAT debate, one would have expected Kiyan to bring up his father’s name. However, the young shooting guard had someone else in his mind. “My GOAT is Paul George. Paul George is the best player ever.”

Well, his father had to fulfill his everlasting dream to train with his idol. And he did! As Kiyan embarks on his journey towards an NBA career, his star dad has taken a surprising step to support him. By flagging off his son’s lifelong dream, Carmelo Anthony is setting the stage for an unexpected twist. Determined to see his son’s dreams come true, the elder Anthony has gone so far as to arrange for Kiyan to train with none other than Paul George, the NBA star whom Kiyan considers his idol.

Kiyan and George have one thing in common – they’re both shooting guards. Anthony, on his podcast 7PM with Brooklyn, shared his motive behind sending his son to train with Paul George. “I want you to go learn from PG on certain sh*t, That wasn’t my game. I’m not gonna even try to teach you that sh*t,” Melo remarked, emphasizing the unique opportunity Kiyan has, to learn from one of the best.

Melo’s decision shows his commitment to his son’s development, highlighting his willingness to set aside personal pride for Kiyan’s NBA future. Anthony himself was a team player and knew the importance of working out alongside players who possessed the same skill set. Sending his son to train with Paul George demonstrates his strategic thinking in Kiyan’s development, focusing on targeted skill enhancement.

During an old interaction with George, Carmelo Anthony had personally thanked him for inspiring his son, as he told PG, “I do want to give you your flowers and say thank you for inspiring him. That’s big. So I want to thank you, champ, for inspiring my son to be happy, say ‘PG in the house all f*****ng day, all night.’ Thank you for that… We made this happen for a reason.”

Paul George, in the meantime, has made a move to the Philadelphia 76ers after five seasons with the LA Clippers.

Paul George’s Fresh Start with the Philadelphia 76ers

George is coming off a strong season with the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. But while he ended his season with the Clippers with strong numbers, the 34-year-old signed up with the Philadelphia 76ers during free agency and is set to play alongside 2023 MVP Joel Embiid and All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey.

During a press conference, George expressed his excitement about joining the 76ers and his eagerness to play alongside Maxey. He drew parallels between Maxey and his former teammate Russell Westbrook, emphasizing the value of playing with a quick and elusive guard.

Both George and the 76ers have struggled to reach the NBA Finals in recent years, but this new partnership could boost PG’s chances of securing an NBA title.
