Kiyan Anthony loves to tease his father, Carmelo Anthony, by always picking other basketball players over him. After naming Paul George as his 'Greatest Player of all Time' in February, Kiyan is back at it.

In a round of rapid-fire questions for SLAM, the senior guard was asked to name the best NBA player of all time. Kiyan's answer was Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Anthony's choice for the best WNBA player of all time was Candace Parker. The former WNBA player reacted to this in the comments as she tagged Carmelo Anthony and La La Anthony, writing:

"Way to raise him right ❤️❤️❤️🤞🏽"

Kiyan was also asked for the best NBA team of all time and he picked the 73-9 Warriors. This squad from the 2015-16 season included Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Kevon Looney and Andrew Bogut, among others.

Jrue Holiday was Kiyan's pick for the best defender and Gregg Popovich was his best coach. He also named Kobe 5s as the best basketball sneaker.

Despite snubbing his father from the GOAT conversation, Kiyan addressed Melo as one on Father's Day. The young star is preparing for a transition to college next year. His choices include playing for Carmelo Anthony's alma mater, Syracuse, along with Auburn, USC, Rutgers, Florida State and Ohio State.

Kiyan Anthony had one of his best summers yet as he showed in the circuit basketball games. With him preparing for his college and future NBA career, fans are excited to see him follow Carmelo Anthony's footsteps.

One such fan posed a question to the former NBA legend on his podcast, "7 PM in Brooklyn.'"Talking about his son's progress, Carmelo said:

"I'm not done with him yet. This is fun, like, this is the process. So the process is always fun, right? When you seeing the work being put in and then you see the outcome of the work that you put in. As a father, I'm proud. I love it.
I'm there with you every step of the way, win or loss. Like, we're about developing. This is another step in your development. This is what I told you what will happen. That's the proud moment right there. To know that he's going to be prepared for whatever situation and be ready."
