To commemorate the milestone, Carmelo’s ex,La La Anthony, FaceTimed in their son Kiyan from the sidelines to be a part of the special moment.
“My son always wants to feel like he’s here,” La La, 38, told ESPN.
“He misses his dad a lot. I was filming up the block, so I came here and just wanted my son to feel like he was a part of the moment. I FaceTimed him so he could see his dad, and he just was excited because his dad had such a great game tonight.”
In the photo, Kiyan stood beside his dad as he held a basketball in his hand.
“He is his dad’s #1 fan & super excited for this new opportunity…but when it’s all said and done, he’s still a 12yr old that is going to miss his dad ????,” La La wrote. “Portland you got a great one ???#portlandtrailblazers #stayme7o.”
