Why Is La La Anthony So Proud of Kiyan Anthony’s Latest Achievement?
La La couldn’t contain her pride when she saw her son’s latest photoshoot. In a special shoot, the Syracuse commit appeared alongside his NBA legend father, Carmelo Anthony.
The original post came from Slam University’s Instagram account, with the caption “Fresh orange juice now ready. Kiyan Anthony for SLAM 258.” The post featured father and son in matching jerseys.
La La quickly shared the post to her Instagram story with a simple message: “MY ❤️.”
How Does La La Anthony Show Her Consistent Support?
This reaction represents just the latest example of La La’s unwavering support for Kiyan’s achievements. She recently reacted with fire emojis to his American Eagle collaboration with Travis Kelce, commenting, “This 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”
During Carmelo’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony, La La showed emotional support when Kiyan presented his father with the Hall of Fame jacket. She reacted with crying face emojis to Kiyan’s heartfelt tribute video.
The mother-son bond runs deep between La La and Kiyan. The future Syracuse Orange player even got a tattoo portrait of his mother with the touching message: “Dear Mom, you continuously put me before yourself. You are my why. I thank God for you every day.”
La La has often called Kiyan her “best friend,” and their relationship shows in every public interaction. When asked about his first big paycheck plans, Kiyan said he would buy his mom a house.
The Anthony family’s close relationship extends beyond social media posts. Kiyan recently spoke about missing his “best friend” when he heads to college, referring to his mother. La La has acknowledged their unique bond while maintaining her role as his parent.
Meanwhile, Kiyan’s admiration for his father is evident. Through Instagram, he shared a message to his dad ahead of Carmelo’s Hall of Fame induction. Kiyan said, “Yo, Pops, it’s Kiy. You’ve been a Hall of Famer to me my whole life. All of that hard work, every day, you grinding, nobody seeing you work as hard as you do. It doesn’t go unnoticed. I appreciate you for paving the way for me, taking on this next legacy. I know I’m in good hands because you gonna be right by my side. Love you, pops.”
