Carmelo Anthony’s Son Kiyan Says Dad ‘Never Pushes Me’ to ‘Follow in His Footsteps’ In Basketball: ‘I’m My Own Person’


Carmelo Anthony's teenage son Kiyan says his father hasn't tried to push him to follow in the NBA star's footprints and allows Kiyan to forge his own path in basketball.

The sports outlet asked the 17-year-old, who’s a rising basketball star in his own right, about whether his father Carmelo, 40, had tried to convince him to attend Syracuse University next season and follow in his own footsteps. Carmelo went on to play 19 seasons in the NBA, finishing his career with the 10th-most points all-time throughout his tenures with the Denver Nuggets, the New York Knicks and later the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers. “Even though I know basically the whole world wants me to go to Syracuse, I still haven't made the decision yet,” Kiyan told ESPN, adding that he still has to research the schools and their basketball programs more to see which team is the best fit.
