Carmelo Anthony’s ex-wife, La La Anthony, was in full support mode for their son, Kiyan, after winning the MVP award on Sunday’s game. The son of the former NBA star represented the Long Island Lutheran against the Arizona Compass Prep for the 2025 Hoophall Classic.

The senior scored 17 points, leading his team to a 63-57 win. He went up against the twin sons of former NBA guard Eddie House, Kaden and Kalek. The two youngsters combined for 27 points and nine assists.

After the game, La La shared some Instagram stories, showing her full support for her son. In her first story showing off Kiyan’s MVP award, the former MTV VJ said she lost her voice after cheering for her son.

“I’m so proud of Kiyan, MVP of the game today,” La La wrote.

Aside from playing basketball and focusing on his journey to making it to the NBA, Kiyan has learned a few tricks from his parents. Even though he’s still in high school, he’s already started a clothing business. Called “One Way,” the business of Melo’s son has gradually gained momentum after it was launched in February 2023.

As always, La La Anthony is supportive of what Kiyan is doing. On her IG stories the past week, she promoted the new updates from her son’s business venture.

“@onewayclothingny just dropped some new 🔥🔥,” La La wrote.

“Proud of you @kiyananthony.”
