Despite being a dominant player during his high school tenure and a highly-rated prospect in the 2025 class, Anthony wasn't named an All-American this year. Cameron Boozer, Cayden Boozer and Alijah Arenas, sons of former NBA players with a lot of hype, were named to the teams' rosters back in January.

Kiyan Anthony had a great game against father Carmelo Anthony's former high school team

The day before Kiyan Anthony led Long Island Lutheran High School to a win over Brewster, he went off against Oak Hill Academy, the team his father played for during his teenage years. Anthony led his squad to a 71-61 comeback win over Oak Hill, prompting another reaction from his mother on social media.

"I just love the game, so I'm always locked in and competing at the highest level is fun to me," Kiyan said per ESPN. "But, yeah, it's definitely cool to be able to play against my dad's old school and get the win."

It was the second time Kiyan and the Crusaders have beaten Oak Hill this season. They won 76-41 in their first meeting last month.
