While it’s understandable for La La Anthony to choose her son over any other basketball player, she couldn’t stomach her son’s opinion. Soon after Lady Anthony’s touching answer, Kiyan Anthony shocked his mother and the viewers as he answered Paul George to be his GOAT player. 

Well known as PG13, the 9x NBA All-Star currently plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. Unfortunately, Melo couldn’t even make up to the second spot in his son’s GOAT list. Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant snatched the coveted second place. Finally, the Denver Nuggets legend was placed in the third position by his own son. La La Anthony was also stunned by her son’s response. “The fact that you didn’t say your dad first is crazy to me,” she argued.
