Carmelo Anthony challenges son Kiyan Anthony to build his own legacy at Syracuse

On Sunday, NBA legend Carmelo Anthony delivered the commencement speech at Syracuse University.

Speaking to the class of 2025, Anthony called it a "full circle moment," returning to his alma mater where he won the 2003 NCAA championship before entering the NBA.

The 10-time NBA All-Star also shared a personal message about his son, Kiyan Anthony, who will join Syracuse this fall. Carmelo expressed pride in seeing Kiyan follow him to his alma mater but challenged him to create his own path.

"My son is now a student at Syracuse," Carmelo Anthony said. "Watching him walk the same walls, wear the same colors is one of the proudest moments of my life.
"It’s not just about following in my footsteps. It’s about watching him create his own story. That’s the power of family. That’s the power of legacy. And it reminds me that the seeds you plant today can grow far beyond what you’ve ever imagined."

Kiyan is a four-star recruit ranked No. 32 in the class of 2025 and New York’s top player. He chose Syracuse over offers from USC and Auburn.
