Kiyan Carmelo Anthony Ranking: Is Listed In Top 25 Recruits

Kiyan's career looks promising because he has achieved a good spot in his career as a high school boy. He is visibly thriving in his career, as he was recently listed in the Top 25 recruits in the class of 2025.

The young prodigy has already made quite a name for himself. He has played for Bryant University's team Bryant Bulldogs where he announced himself. His performances landed him an offer from George Mason University.

He aims to leave a more significant legacy on the court than his father. He had to say the following in his interview with The Hoop Group:

I want to be one of the best players in the country. Everything's going to pay off. I can really do everything on the court. Shooting the ball is like my lethal weapon. But I've been working on being able to create my own shot. I think what separates me is my work ethic. I'm in the gym almost every day. I don't really think anyone is working as hard as me.

His Parent Carmelo & Alani's Relationship

Kiyan's parents, Carmelo Anthony and Alani Vasquez have had a dramatic relationship. People would typically have a hard time keeping up with all of it.

The two first met each other through a mutual friend, DJ Clue. Soon after, they hit it off and started seeing each other. A while later, the couple got engaged in December 2004.

It took many years for them to take their relationship to the next level finally. The couple exchanged their wedding vows on July 10, 2010, in New York in front of a large crowd of 320 guests. Their wedding was also taped for a television show for the fans to watch.

After seven years of married life, things didn't work out, and they separated in April 2017. Their relationship didn't end there as the couple got back together the following year, in December 2018. Unfortunately, their second spell didn't go as planned, as Alani divorced him and ended things forever.

Kiyan's Father Alleged Scandal

Kiyan's parent's marriage has ended, and it wasn't a pleasant journey. Carmelo Anthony found himself headlining tabloids when the news broke out that he was seen with another woman.

The woman has been identified as Sara Smiri. The paparazzi spotted him with her in a yatch together. The news spread like wildfire and soon started affecting the family of the NBA player.

On the other hand, Carmelo defended himself, saying he wasn't cheating on his wife. The woman was married, and her husband was also with them. He also called out the media for reporting the incident without fact-checking it.

In support of that, Carmelo defended himself in an Interview with TMZ Sports. He said:

All them bloggers that's trying to put that out there, that sh*t is not cool at all. That's not cool at all. Let that family be they family, they married. The only reason i'm addressing this is because this is affecting my family now and you got me out here looking crazy. Usually I won't address this, but I had to address this. Can't let this one slide, because this s*** ain't cool no more. Peace.
