Did Kiyan Anthony’s Family Business Trip To Syracuse Spark A Love Reconnection Between La La and Melo? | Divorced Couple Spotted Having Breakfast.

NBA legend and future Basketball Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony enjoyed an amazing basketball career. The ten-time All-Star and six-time All-NBA selection who was a scoring threat from all three levels on the floor finished his NBA career with 28,289 points. Anthony played 20 NBA seasons before retiring in May of this year. 

But, prior to his illustrious NBA career, Anthony embarked on a one-year college journey to Syracuse. There, Melo was the key piece in a national title run that netted former legendary Orangemen head coach Jim Boeheim his lone national championship.

Now, Melo’s legacy, son Kiyan, a 2025 four-star recruit who’s the No. 41-ranked recruit in the class and one of the top shooting guards in the class is taking his official visit to dad’s alma mater. Kiyan, the 6-foot-4 junior guard who plays for Long Island Lutheran High School, has blossomed into a really solid player that has schools chomping at the bit to add his services, but many believe “The Cuse” are the leaders in the clubhouse.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
