The narration of the video was certainly an important factor in creating the atmosphere. “You aren’t born to that light, you take it,” the narrator said, as if addressing Kiyan Anthony. “It’s Anthony. My blood runs in you. Enter the family.” This is not a mere marketing deal, however; it serves as a symbolic and internal transfer of power in the lineage of the most publicized sports families. Kiyan, who has already been deemed a top basketball prospect in high school, is the son of NBA star Carmelo Anthony who has always been associated with the Jordan Brand.
La La’s post exuded motherly affection. “Kiyan is now officially a member of the Jordan family,” she said. “I am very proud of you for being there, working hard, and receiving the blessings. Just keep shining… it’s yours already. LOVE YOU!!!” The post also had the hashtags #JumpmanEnergy and #JordanAthlete which confirmed the partnership.
The announcement was soon followed by a huge number of likes, messages, and comments about the legacy of the family. The feelings expressed were largely emotional and supportive. One spectator became a spokesperson for the general atmosphere, saying, “Why am I so emotional right now? Congratulations! A proud moment for sure!!!” Another comment was simply, “Wowww!! Legacy. That’s a lovely thing.”
Numerous people pointed to the hard work behind the success. One of them wrote, “What a flame to hand down. He is the one who has the torch because that boy is really good!” The writer’s opinion received support from another one pointing at Kiyan’s worthiness, “He has been working hard indeed and not just relying on it being given to him. He fits all the hype! No tricks!” This change from the success of inheritance to the success of a merit strongly resonated.
The theme of parental influence was mentioned as an important topic. One of the most striking comments said, “Goddess mothers make Kings. Fatherly virtues are the way to the Kingdom.” This idea that it takes a village to raise a child was obviously not one-sided as it attracted replies like “FACTS” and “Beautifully put.” Another person who seemed like a parent involved in sports also wanted to give a shout out that was quite long and acknowledged the great toll taken. “A great shout out to you guys for being great examples and inspiration to all of us Parents who invest in our children’s athletics! The time.. the traveling.. the money.. rearranging work… Makes moments like this WORTH IT!!”
Kiyan’s future is already attracting a lot of people’s attention. One excited fan wrote, “Congratulations Ki! I will be looking forward to the day he reaches the league,” to which another person replied, “Me neither.” The legacy aspect was shouted by another person, “THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! LEGACY.”
