Video: Carmelo Anthony Tells Son Kiyan He Wouldn't Unretire to Join USA in Olympics

A LeBron and Bronny James situation is not in the cards for 40-year-old Carmelo Anthony and his son Kiyan.

On The Kiyan Anthony Show, Kiyan mentioned that he believed there might be a chance for his dad to make a return for a future Olympic appearance, but the man himself shut that idea down (11:15 mark).

"I don't want to replace nobody, they deserve to be on that team," Carmelo said. "I would come out and just be like a little honorary captain."

Carmelo, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, had a 19-year career before retiring in 2023. His final Olympic appearance came at the 2016 Rio Games, where the U.S. men's team won the gold medal.

The former New York Knicks forward represented Team USA for 14 years, earning one bronze medal and three consecutive golds during his tenure.

Entering his second full season of retirement, Kiyan was not surprised by his dad's decision not to return to the court.

"I think it's over," Kiyan said. "He's been getting too comfortable, chilling and working."

Carmelo ranks first in U.S. Olympic men's basketball for games played, with a total of 31, recording 336 points and 125 rebounds.
