“He’s just a genuine person who always likes looking out for other people.” That’s how La La Anthony described her son, not on hooping abilities but his personality. For his next chapter, Kiyan Anthony would only be 280 miles away from New York. So Syracuse offers a perfect balance, allowing La La Anthony to closely follow her ‘best friend’s’ career. The 42-year-old can manage her commitments better, and even have her son take part in some.

During the celebratory time of the year, the mother of one brought joy to the Bronx. Her Annual Winter Wonderland event helped hundreds of underserved children in the borough. And helping her mother was the 17-year-old, and the children couldn’t get enough of him. After all, he is the #1 player in New York. The video shared by La La Anthony on her Instagram gave a small glimpse of Kiyan’s popularity. “@kiyananthony in the building!!!” Plus, he also helped in making someone’s day.

“@kiyananthony gave away a PlayStation.” The ROHM star shared her side of the evening with her 14.9 million followers. The La La Land Foundation was also involved in making children’s lives better, and for the entrepreneur, it’s a must-do thing.

“This is my seventh annual Winter Wonderland event right here in the Bronx and it’s just giving Christmas and holiday cheer to the community during this time of the year.”

She also had a message for everybody around the world. “You see what I’m doing? Pay it forward to the next person. Do something good for the next person. So, I just want to inspire them to do good as well.” Not just Kiyan Anthony, but even Savannah James, showed up for the good cause.

In another story, La La Anthony added, “@mrs_savannahrj pulled up yesterday!!! We had the best time with the kids 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.” Speaking about the best time, it was probably the best decision by Syracuse’s latest recruit to stay closer to home.

Kiyan Anthony’s habits exposed by parents

After months of suspension, the guard spoke about his decision with his mother and father. Despite their divorce in 2021, both have stated multiple times about co-parenting their only son.

On Carmelo Anthony‘s 7PM podcast, the world got to hear the news. “It’s an amazing thing but the fact that you are leaving home, you are going to be on your own.” The fatherly advice did not end there.

“We spoke about this yesterday. You got to learn how to cook; you got to like, learn how to clean your s–t; your apartment like all type; driving.” Even La La Anthony exposed her son’s habits. “No, you need to clean. No, you’re messy.” Melo further added, “That n—a still leave gummy bear wrappers all over the trails, all over the house.”

Even though Kiyan Anthony will be on his own for this journey, with just 280 miles, he isn’t that far from his parents. Hopefully, the 17-year-old plays his best there and cleans up his act a little, so parents could be more proud.
