The son of Carmelo Anthony is continuing his father’s legacy, but in his own unique way!

Kiyan, a top-40 men’s basketball recruit who is seventeen years old, has made his college decision public, choosing Syracuse University—his dad’s alma mater—above his other strong candidates.

On Friday, November 15th, at 7 o’clock in Brooklyn, the sole kid of Carmelo, 40, and ex-wife La La Anthony revealed his long-awaited decision on dad Carmelo’s podcast.

Kiyan said that he will be attending the New York college, which owes a great deal of its lone NCAA Championship victory to his father, after gradually narrowing down a list of ten colleges since his sophomore year, with Syracuse, Auburn, and USC making it into the top three.The 42-year-old La La expressed her “overwhelm” and “happy ’cause he’s happy” in response to Kiyan’s major announcement on the show.

I believe it’s a fantastic choice,” she said. The school is fantastic, and they went above and above to recruit him and make him feel valued. Wow, they were some really high-profile shoes to fill. On the other hand, he has to make his own path now that this is his time.In addition, she mentioned that the fact that Kiyan will be just a five-hour drive or 45-minute flight away from her is an extra bonus.

Meanwhile, Carmelo was ecstatic that Kiyan had finally made up his mind after much “flip-flopping.”

“It’s important to say like, Kiyan really made this decision,” La La added, echoing the sentiments of the former NBA star. “I’m glad that he decided to make this decision.”

There was no pressure to choose his alma mater because “Mel” simply gave him feedback on all the colleges, she explained.
