Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 5671740, member: 548"] Something good to know: Kiyan’s work with Harris refined his game. But his father flying into town for a few days is what brought his swagger back. Carmelo flew to Syracuse so he could talk to Kiyan and shoot around with him in the aftermath of his benching. Kiyan said that Carmelo’s been in a similar spot before, when teams hesitated to give the former NBA great new contracts due to his declining performance. Kiyan felt the same way in that he needed to earn his way back onto the court. Carmelo showed him the path. “He never lost confidence in me,” Kiyan said of his father. “He’s the main guy that helped me play the way I did today.” [/QUOTE]
