Kiyan Anthony Autographed Card with Game-Worn Sneaker Revealed After Syracuse Debut
The son of an NBA legend made his college basketball debut on Monday, and now one lucky fan can get a keepsake from the game.
After Kiyan Anthony, Carmelo Anthony's son, played his first game for Syracuse, Topps revealed a 1-of-1 autographed trading card featuring Anthony's game-worn sneakers.
According to Topps, the card will be available to collectors who purchase the base addition of Anthony's card.
Anthony had a memorable debut for his father's alma mater. He stepped in at shooting guard after guard JJ Starling went down with an injury and dropped 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting in the 85-47 win over Binghampton.
Anthony was a 4-star prospect and the No. 34 player in the country coming out of high school, according to 247Sports' composite rankings. He chose Syracuse over USC, Florida State and a handful of other programs.
While the Orange haven't been to the NCAA tournament since 2021, Anthony chose to continue his father's legacy. The elder Anthony won a national championship in 2003 and had his number retired by Syracuse.
Anthony is hoping to have similar success to his father, and he's off to a great start.
