"It's books and ball": Former NBA star Carmelo Anthony on son Kiyan Anthony's focus as he prepares for college basketball
If there's anyone who is best suited to guide Kiyan Anthony through college basketball, it's his father, Carmelo Anthony, a former college national champion who enjoyed a successful 19-year NBA career. When speaking about what he envisions for Kiyan at the college level, Carmelo emphasizes the importance of staying focused on basketball without distractions:
"I just want him to get on campus, have a good year, develop, get better on the court. ... Now, it's about basketball. It's about developing, you don't have no time for anything else. It's books and ball. I think having him in that environment where he can just lock in and just focus. He's on campus, he understands that this is college basketball and what comes with that."
