Nike EYBL: LeBron Stays Laser Focused on 16YO Bryce While Kiyan Anthony Has Dad Carmelo Leaping Off His Seat

Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League stars some of the best young ballers in the nation. LeBron James, who is eagerly waiting for his first son Bronny to enter the NBA, did not forget to throw some attention on Bryce James, who took part in the EYBL. However, Bryce was not the only star kid there. New York Knicks icon Carmelo Anthony’s son Kiyan was also a part of it, and he had his dad stand up from the seat in excitement. On the other hand, there wasn’t a lot of reaction from the King, who flew all the way to Chicago to watch Bryce. 

Kiyan Anthony, who represents Team Melo in the EYBL, was scorching his opponents from the three-point line. There were deep three-pointers, few dunks, and whatnot. It’s safe to say Kiyan put on a show in front of his dad, who got up from his seat after the 17-year-old made a tough three. Kiyan finished the game with 25 points in the Session 3 of EYBL and Carmelo Anthony was seen on the sideline, clapping and cheering his son. 

On the other hand, LeBron James was composed, paying close attention to his 16-year-old son Bryce. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was also joined by his wife Savannah. 

What’s to be noted here is that James was seen at the NBA Draft Combine two days ago, along with Lakers GM Rob Pelinka, to watch his son Bronny. Looks like the scoring leader is using the off-season wisely to guide his sons.

Bryce James vs Kiyan Anthony, who is the better one? 

16-year-old Bryce plays shooting guard for Notre Dame basketball. He is already 6’4, 180 pounds, and has a few more years left to join college. Kiyan Anthony on the other hand is 6’5, 185 pounds at just 17 years of age, and represents as the shooting guard for the Middle Village at New York. Both these young prospects will be top candidates in college basketball. Both of them will likely get several offers from top universities. 

However, when it comes to playmaking, Anthony might have an upper edge when compared with Bryce. Anthony has a great pull-up jumper next to the paint and is also efficient from the three-point line. Bryce on the other hand is dominant inside the paint with layups, just like his dad. The two have already made a name for themselves in high school. Anthony has a slight height advantage, but that is not exactly something to worry about for Bryce. However, what’s for sure is that these two youngsters have an amazing future, likely in the NBA.
