Kiyan Anthony's new tattoo, an homage to Melo and Syracuse's title, is straight fire

Kiyan Anthony has entered the tattoo hall of fame, if there is such a thing.

The 2025 four-star prospect from New York City, who is a freshman for Syracuse basketball in the upcoming 2025-26 season, got a new tattoo, according to posts on X. And it's sick nasty (in a good way).

The new ink on his left arm is an homage to his dad, Orange legend Carmelo Anthony, and that iconic photo of Melo holding up a copy of the Syracuse Post-Standard, with the headline in all-caps reading, "CHAMPS."

Kiyan Anthony might have just inducted himself into the basketball tattoo hall of fame, just saying ud83eudee2 pic.
