Like father, like son!!
Kiyan Anthony just announced he’ll be playing college basketball at Syracuse — following the footsteps of his former NBA superstar dad, Carmelo!
The 17-year-old guard revealed his decision between USC and ‘Cuse on Melo’s “7 PM in Brooklyn” podcast on Friday … with his dad and mom, La La Anthony, by his side.
The Long Island Lutheran High School star thanked the USC and Syracuse coaching staffs for the recruitment process … before taking out an Orange cap and putting it on his head.
Of course, Kiyan’s dad was thrilled his son will be playing at ‘Cuse … Carmelo did the same for one season in 2002, where he won an NCAA championship.
Kiyan — who has a very similar playing style to his dad — is ranked 36th in ESPN’s Top 100 players in the 2025 Class … and is seventh in his region.
The 6’5″ guard received multiple offers from other basketball programs … including Rutgers, Ohio State and Auburn.
But, the Orange won the Kiyan sweepstakes … and anyone who grew up watching Melo play is now officially old.
