La La Anthony documents her son, Kiyan Anthony’s basketball journey over the years
La La Anthony shared on Thursday a clip of her son Kiyan Anthony’s basketball journey. She wrote on IG:
“Growing up right before our eyes 🥹 @kiyananthony”
The highlights started in 2014 when the younger Anthony was still seven years old and standing 3-foot-4 while wearing a New York Knicks jersey. Two years later, he practiced jab steps with his father, Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony.
In 2018, the 11-year-old was 5-foot-2 and playing in the AAU. He grew five inches when the next highlights came, two years later. By 2022, he was already a high school star and 6-foot-2. This year, he is three inches taller and one of the hottest prospects in the 2025 class.
Carmelo Anthony and La La Anthony have played a big part in his growth on and off the court. They have been very supportive and proud of his accomplishments.
