Kiyan Can Follow Carmelo Anthony’s Rulebook to Avoid Potential NBA Controversy

“Bronny James doesn’t belong in the NBA. Not yet. Some people say never. I don’t believe that. I think the kid has a chance… but he’s not ready yet.” Stephen A. Smith’s time and again criticism of Bronny James showed how ruthless the experts can be against the alleged products of nepotism. And a significant section of the fans hasn’t been too kind to the Lakers’ star. Now, amid such circumstances, how do the upcoming NBA sons like Kiyan Anthony, Boozer twins, and Alijah Arenas avoid the same fate as Bronny? Well, former New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony seems to have found a solution.

Let’s not forget that the criticism against Bronny comes not just because of the fact that he’s LeBron James’ son, but also his lack of experience in college basketball and not being proficient enough to be selected in the NBA draft. As for Kiyan, the 18-year-old has been honing his basketball skills not just with his high school basketball team, but in tourneys like Nike’s EYBL and top 100 camp. His numbers as been quite impressive.

And to further prepare him mentally, Carmelo Anthony seems to know what’s needed the most. “I think it’s perseverance and, and really just not giving up and, and understanding it’s a journey. And just take it day to day and understand with that journey is ups and it’s downs and it’s ups and it’s downs,” he said on NBA on ESPN.

Well, this journey of ups and downs is what Bronny James’ basketball career seems to be missing.
