Gian Anthony teased following in his father Carmelo Anthony’s footsteps after his official visit to Syracuse on Friday. The elder Anthony played one year for the Orange during the 2002-03 season, delivering the program’s lone NCAA Championship. LeBron James apparently accepted Key’s possible decision by sharing his post on Instagram.
The 16-year-old guard is a four-star prospect and is currently ranked 36th in the 2025 class. He hasn’t committed to Syracuse, but is definitely hinting at playing for the Orange with his post on Instagram, and he actually looks great in their uniform.
„Carry the torch?🍊#OfficialVisit,” Qian wrote.

Carmelo Anthony did not pressure his son about his choice of institution. Gian Anthony told On3 he will take time to think about his future and visit other schools before making his decision.
„There was no pressure to go there,” Qian said. „Wherever I go, I know I’m going to go there and play my game. But my dad always told me, 'Don’t think you have to go to Syracuse because I went there. Really look at these colleges. Pick where you want to go.’ So I’m looking forward to doing that.”
In addition to Syracuse, Gian Anthony also has offers from other programs such as Florida State, George Mason, Manhattan, Memphis, Providence and Seton Hall. Anthony is a junior at Long Island Lutheran High School and transferred from Christ the King in February.

LeBron James approves of Gian Anthony’s Syracuse tease
LeBron James „The King” might be the best uncle ever, as he shared a post from Gyan Anthony on one of his Instagram stories. James and Carmelo Anthony have known each other since high school and have developed a very strong bond.
The two NBA legends squared off late last year in Gyan Anthony’s Christ the King Broney and Bryce James’ Sierra Canyon. LeBron and Carmelo’s legacies came full circle in 2002, two decades after their battle.
While Kian continues to visit schools, LeBron’s oldest son Brony has already committed to play for the USC Trojans. Bronnie is currently in rehab after undergoing surgery to correct a congenital heart defect that caused a heart attack a few months ago.
On the other hand, Price recently teased about joining the Ohio State Buckeyes. He has an official offer from Ohio State and Duquesne. He is likely to be linked with USC.
