Former North Carolina Tar Heel Cole Anthony sent social media into a frenzy Wednesday night after footage of him going 1-on-1 with Carmelo Anthony’s son, Kiyan Anthony, dropped.
In case you did not know, Kiyan Anthony is a hooper, currently a four-star recruit, ranked as the No. 1 player in New York, representing the 2025 class. Kiyan and Cole’s line and body structure matched well, leaving only experience in the difference between the two.
The viral clip shared by numerous media outlets has gained quite some traction, with ClutchPoints sharing the video on the X platform (formerly Twitter) and reaching 2M views.

Two observations:
1.) Cole's shorts are an abomination
2.) Kiyan has his dads one dribble pull up already https://t.co/9C75miYHos— nittygrittysportstalk (@nittygritty410) August 9, 2023

I like the idea of having “defenders”stood in the driving lanes in these workouts

Cole Anthony looks like the guy at your local gym that’s picked last in 5’s but ends up being the best player on the court https://t.co/o4K9elpa0v

“I’m sick and tired of y’all tagging me talking about ‘kilt’, ‘you was wearing a skirt’… These are shorts.”
Cole Anthony clears the air on what he was wearing during his workout with Kiyan Anthony 😂
