Carmelo Anthony was at the Knicks practice facility today teaching his son Kiyan the art of the jab step. In the video captured by the Knicks Twitter account, Melo drills his son repeatedly on the hard jab, how to pivot, and using it to move a defender.
Kiyan is already a young star in the making. Nice to have an All-NBA dad teaching you the tricks of the trade.
Also, at a time when Melo’s lack of a father figure was used unfairly to critique his play by bitter ex-coach George Karl; it’s nice to see a father and son bonding.
See the video below.
