Syracuse men’s basketball freshman Kiyan Anthony signed an NIL deal with Jordan Brand, Nike announced Monday . Kiyan — son of Syracuse legend Carmelo — was one of four athletes signed by Jordan Brand for their “Class of 2025″, along with Duke’s Cameron and Cayden Boozer and UConn’s Sarah Strong.
“To be part of the Jordan Brand family, to me, means carrying on a legacy,” Kiyan said, via Nike’s press release. “I want my legacy to be more than just basketball. I want it to be on and off the court, giving back to the community, doing everything I can to uphold my last name and carry the torch.”
Carmelo was Jordan Brand’s first signature athlete over 20 years ago, releasing the Jordan Melo 1.5 in 2004. Carmelo met Michael Jordan during the Jordan Brand Classic in 2002, where he led all play
