“Create my own name”: Carmelo Anthony’s son on creating his own name at Dad's alma mater, Syracuse

Carmelo Anthony's son, Kiyan, committed to his alma mater, Syracuse University, revealing his decision on an episode of his podcast, "7PM in Brooklyn," in November. Anthony graduated from high school in June, averaging 15.2 points per game during his senior year.

He is headed to Syracuse but wishes to chart his own path in college before moving on to the NBA. Speaking on his plans in November, Anthony said:

"From day one, when they started recruiting me, they made me feel like it was family," Kiyan said. "My dad's name on the facility is special, but I want to go in there and create my own name, and I've already done that through my dedication in the offseason."

Carmelo Anthony is widely regarded as one of the best scorers of the modern era and is also a legend at Syracuse. He retired in 2023 after playing 19 seasons in the league, averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists for his career.

Kiyan Anthony will need to do something special on the court if he wishes to chart his own path and surpass his father's legacy.
