Kiyan Anthony Changes Physical Appearance to Honor Father Carmelo Anthony originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The image that defined a program’s breakthrough, Carmelo Anthony hoisting a Syracuse Post-Standard front page after the 2003 national title, has a new life this week.

To show he'll look to carry on the legacy his father established with the Syracuse Orange that included bringing the school its first and only NCAA men's basketball championship in 2003, Kiyan tattooed an image of his dad after he won the national title.

Kiyan Anthony is really intent on continuing the family legacy. The 18-year-old shooting guard Kiyan, the son of retired former NBA scoring champion Carmelo Anthony, went viral this week over his large new tattoo.

Carmelo Anthony’s son just honored his dad with a powerful new tattoo, and it’s the perfect symbol of what’s next.

Kiyan Anthony paid tribute to his father, Carmelo Anthony, with a tattoo showcasing a picture of him celebrating Syracuse's 2003 men's basketball NCAA Division I national championship.

The other is a replica image with one distinct difference: It’s a tattoo of Carmelo holding up The Post-Standard with the word “Legacy” replacing “Champs” and a photo of Kiyan replacing his dad on the front page. The tattooed tribute to his dad comes about a year after Kiyan had an image of his mom, LaLa, tattooed onto that same arm.
