The 2024 edition of the Nike EYBL Peach Jam saw the young shooting guard blitz 40 points during one of his matchups and that saw social media erupt as well, considering his father was one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.

Anthony didn't miss out on his son's performance either as Kiyan went 15-19 from the field and 5-6 from beyond the arc. He had a simple, but wholesome reaction.

The guard looked at absolute ease as he took shots at every possible opportunity. He showcased his jumpers and slashes as he barrelled to the rim. The latest now firmly puts him in the spotlight for what he can do in the completion in the days to come.
