Carmelo Anthony became eternal last night. The three-time Olympic gold medalist stepped into the hall reserved for overachievers. He wore the distinguished orange jacket, joining some of his fellow basketball brothers and sisters in the prestigious Hall of Fame. It was a nod the Knicks icon deserved, as a savant of the game and a model example of how far dreams can get you.
But his important legacy isn’t confined to a jacket. His children, whom he claimed ‘saved him’ during his HoF speech, are what truly matter. Anthony has a daughter, Genesis, and a son, Kiyan Anthony. The latter caught on to the basketball fever like his father and is aiming to follow suit to further embellish his glorious legacy in the sport.
That came with him prepared to bleed the Syracuse orange. And although just removed from Carmelo Anthony’s eternal moment, the family isn’t done celebrating. Kiyan Anthony has made waves as a promising talent molded by his legendary father’s principles. Recently, the pair got to share something together.
The 18-year-old shared it on his Instagram story. The pair appeared on the cover of the SLAM magazine, Kiyan’s second time. This one focused on the journey ahead, carrying the legacy at Syracuse. It was the place where Carmelo Anthony earned his first SLAM cover when he lifted the national championship in 2023. That’s exactly what his son is aiming for.
