“15 is retired,’’ Kiyan Anthony said. “I’m not gonna take that away from my dad.’’
Good thinking because Carmelo wasn’t going to let his son wear his No. 15 anyway.
“He ain’t getting it, he ain’t getting it,’’ Carmelo said with a laugh.
Kiyan said he would go with a number other than the No. 3 he currently wears while playing for Long Island Lutheran High School.
Instead of 15, Kiyan Anthony said he will wear another number associated with his father, but not with his days at Syracuse.
He plans to wear the number his father wore with the New York Knicks.
“I will probably wear number 7, for sure,’’ he said.
