In North Augusta, S.C., Carmelo Anthony's legacy continues through his son, Kiyan, as they face Oak Hill Academy, where Carmelo once played. Kiyan led his team, Long Island Lutheran, to a 71-61 victory, scoring 25 points, while NBA scouts observed his talent. Oak Hill Academy’s coach, Steve Smith, now an EYBL Scholastic commissioner, reflects on the positive change in his role, finding less stress compared to when he coached Carmelo. The article encapsulates the passing of basketball greatness from father to son, highlighting their shared experiences and achievements.
"It's a little different now," said Smith, who now serves as assistant commissioner of the EYBL Scholastic. "But, for me, it's a good different. Less stress these days."
Kiyan made good on the not-so-subtle nudging, leading all scorers with 25 points in the Crusaders' 71-61 win as a row full of NBA scouts looked on.
Kiyan said, "But, yeah, it's definitely cool to be able to play against my dad's old school and get the win."
Smith remarked, "Coaching Melo and now seeing his son at the same point have similar success is pretty cool to say the least."
