Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another story, and today, we’re diving deep into the world of hoops, specifically about this young baller named Kiyan Anthony. Now, you might know him as Carmelo Anthony’s son, but let me tell you, this kid is making a name for himself, and I was there to witness some of it.
So, picture this: I heard all the buzz about Kiyan. “Carmelo’s son is balling out,” they said. “He’s the next big thing,” they claimed. Naturally, I had to see what this was all about. I started by digging up whatever I could find online. It turns out, this wasn’t just hype. Kiyan is a senior at Long Island Lutheran High School, a powerhouse in the basketball world. And get this, he’s already considered a top-50 player in the country and the number-1 player in New York. That’s no small feat, folks.
Then, I stumbled upon some crazy news. Kiyan announced his commitment to Syracuse University. Talk about a full-circle moment, right? His dad’s alma mater. I had to see him play. And that’s exactly what I did. I found out he was playing with Team Melo on the Nike EYBL circuit, averaging 19.6 points per game. That’s serious skill, my friends.
I marked my calendar and went to one of his games. The energy in the arena was electric. Every time Kiyan touched the ball, all eyes were on him. And man, did he deliver. His moves were smooth, his shots were on point, and you could see the influence of his father in his game, but with his own unique style. He moves with a different kind of speed, more of a smooth operator. It is so cool, you know?
But it wasn’t just his skills on the court that caught my attention. I learned that Kiyan visited Syracuse for an official recruiting visit. I saw pictures of him rocking that Syracuse jersey with his dad, and meeting with head coach Adrian Autry. It was like witnessing a legacy in the making.
Off the court, Kiyan is also making moves. I found out he already has deals with some famous brands, and his NIL value is reportedly at $1.1 million. That’s insane for a high school kid. This young man has a bright future ahead of him, both on and off the court. It’s clear that he’s not just riding on his father’s name. He’s carving his own path, and it’s an exciting one to follow. I found some news said he may be drafted into NBA! I can totally imagine that will happen!

And trust me, I’ll be right here, watching his journey unfold, and sharing it all with you guys.
So, keep your eyes on this young baller. He’s got the talent, the drive, and the legacy to become one of the greats. And remember, you heard it here first. This is just the beginning for Kiyan Anthony, and I can’t wait to see what he does next.
