Carmelo Anthony's son Kiyan Anthony was asked the question, "How do you define your IT?" His response moved his mother La La.
In a video SLAM posted on Instagram on Monday, a few young athletes were asked how they would characterize their "IT." Other players shared that it was their family, and others shared that it was their desire and determination to excel in what they do.
For Kiyan, "IT" was his mother, as he showed a tattoo of his mother on his arm.
"My IT? I got it tatted on my arm, my mom. Literally, it says 'You my why.'" Anthony said.
