La La Anthony "couldn't be more proud" as Kiyan Anthony commits to Syracuse
Kiyan Anthony, who has a NIL value of $1.1 million as per On3, announced his decision to commit to Syracuse on his dad's "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast on Nov. 15. To celebrate, La La and Carmelo Anthony hosted a commitment party for their son.
There was nothing but love and pride coming from the Anthonys as they spoke about Kiyan.
"Melo and I couldn't be more proud of our son," La La Anthony said at Kiyan's commitment party. "This is such an amazing major moment for him and I always say he's incredible in basketball and I'm so proud of him. But what I'm most proud of is who he is as a person, who he is as a young man, how he treats people, who he's become... That's what Melo and I are the most proud of."
Kiyan Anthony on why he chose Syracuse
Kiyan Anthony was quick to dispel any ideas that people may have had to wonder if his dad had anything to do with his decision to commit to Syracuse.
"I chose Syracuse because the coaches recruited me from day one," Anthony told 247Sports on Nov. 15. "They really showed me they were recruiting me for who I was and that it had nothing to do with my dad. I could see the vision with Sadiq (White) going over there and being one of the most athletic people in the class, an overseas guard coming and the potential of seniors like JJ Starling and Chris Bell coming back."
"Next, we just need a big man. From the vision and what they're telling me my role could be, it all made sense."
Kiyan also said that he was close to committing to USC.
"USC was right there with them I'm not going to lie. There was a point where I was about to choose USC but I kept talking with my parents and ultimately decided with Cuse," he told 247Sports.
