LeBron James Has No Words for Carmelo Anthony’s Special Moment With Son Kiyan at HOF

When the 2008 USA Men’s Basketball Team was elected to the Naismith Hall of Fame, everyone had one question – is LeBron James going to be at Springfield this weekend? While it doesn’t look like the active player is dining with his orange-jacket-donning former teammates, he’s not missing the important moments. His Redeem Team buddies, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard received their jackets and rings on Friday night and two thirds of the Miami Heat Big 3, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were among the presenters. While HoF weekend guarantees emotional moments every time, we and James weren’t prepared for this one.

Carmelo Anthony, who’s still in disbelief about the HoF honor, got his jacket and ring tonight. Making this moment surreal, his son, Kiyan presented it to him. His 18-year-old son is about to begin his first season at Syracuse, wearing his dad’s #7. And ‘Orange’ is the family color.

The moment when he put the signature HoF jacket on his dad had a heartwarming effect on social media. Even LeBron James couldn’t resist sharing the Reel on his Stories with silent affirmation.

James and Melo missed their meetup this past season when their sons’ school, Sierra Canyon and LuHi competed against each other. But Bryce and Kiyan were both injured. Now the matchup would have to wait for the NCAA tournament as Bryce is also preparing for his college debut with the Arizona Wildcats.

This is a developing story.
