Thanksgiving is a cherished time for family and friends, and when it comes to NBA families, the celebrations are often larger-than-life. From Dwyane Wade’s lavish family gatherings with Gabrielle Union to Steph Curry’s heartwarming holiday traditions, professional basketball players and their families turn this annual celebration into an art form of gratitude and entertainment. But this year, Carmelo Anthony’s ex-wife, La La Anthony stole the spotlight with a hilariously relatable twist—forgetting the point of the holiday itself!

The Perfect Find actress recently threw a Thanksgiving party. The highlight of the evening? A spirited game of musical chairs involving her guests and her 17-year-old son, Kiyan Anthony. In a Story posted by La La on her Instagram, she can be seen energetically moving to the music, but when the music stopped, guests scrambled for chairs, leaving La La standing puzzled. However, the most funny part of this is the caption that she wrote revealing that she had forgotten about the events that had happened. “I forgot we played musical chairs,” La La wrote as the caption.

La La’s Thanksgiving party was a family and friends studded affair that epitomized the glamour and warmth of her social circles. Besides the musical chairs game, there was a cup flipping, where there was a penalty for the participant who lost the game. “This game is dangerous, loser takes shots,” wrote La La as the caption on one of her Story videos. Besides games, there was karaoke, b**ze, and a lot of dancing and good food. “Happy Thanksgiving everybody. It’s on my plate. Double eggs, potatoes, macaroni, cheese rice, chicken, candied yams, and some pasta,” said La La in another video on her IG story.

While La La’s playful side stole the show, her son Kiyan also garnered attention during the celebration. The 17-year-old who has recently chosen Syracuse as his final choice of college had stunned everyone with his rap skills as he freestyled on the Lil Nas X song, ‘It ain’t hard to tell‘. “Now Kiyan Anthony is Freestyling,” wrote La La as the caption.

La La’s Thanksgiving celebration serves as a reminder that the holiday is not just about tradition but also about creating memories filled with joy and laughter. Whether it’s through an epic game or moments of gratitude, the Anthony family’s approach to Thanksgiving is an example of the power of love, fun, and family. However, a few days back, the 42-year-old showed a different side of her Thanksgiving celebration.

With the splendid flair of her recent Thanksgiving party, the actress has become the talk of the town. But a few days back she celebrated this important Holiday differently. With her 17-year-old son, Kiyan, embarking on his journey at Syracuse University, La La found herself reflecting on the true essence of gratitude and giving back.

Six days before Thanksgiving, La La visited Rikers Island, New York City’s largest jail complex, to share a moment of hope and humanity with the incarcerated population. “Thanksgiving on the island today, so grateful,” La La wrote as the caption of her Instagram Story. This initiative was a part of her ‘Three Sixty’ program that she had started a few years back.

The program is aimed to provide scholarships and educational opportunities for incarcerated youth in the age group between 18-21 years at Rikers that would help them with their life after their sentence ends. In the end, we can say that her noble act serves as a reminder that the spirit of Thanksgiving thrives in acts of selflessness and unity. What are your views on Anthony’s style of celebration?
