Speaker 1: The volume.
Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Slung and this is Sloan Nodes next, where
Speaker 2: I sit down with the future NBA stars of tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Today's guest is a four star recruit with offers from
Speaker 2: Ohio State, USC, Syracuse and more. His journey of learning
Speaker 2: the game from his dad Carmelo, to becoming the number
Speaker 2: one ring player in the state of New York, and
Speaker 2: even bringing on his very own special guest, his mom,
Speaker 2: La La Anthony is a story you won't want to miss.
Speaker 2: Next up is Kayenne Anthony. All right, Kayenne, so you're
Speaker 2: seventeen years old. I'm about to be seventeen. So this
Speaker 2: is the first guest I've ever had where I'm basically
Speaker 2: the same age. So I usually go and I ask people,
Speaker 2: you know, what they were like at my age, But
Speaker 2: you're my age, so it's gonna be a little different.
Speaker 2: So I want to know for you, at what age
Speaker 2: did it hit you that you were the real deal
Speaker 2: you could probably go pro as a basketball player.
Speaker 1: I will say.
Speaker 3: Like the summer of sixteen, going into my junior year
Speaker 3: of high school, I would say, like I started to realize, like,
Speaker 3: you know, I could really do this for real?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Was there a specific moment that led you to that,
Speaker 2: or it was just sort of how it was playing out.
Speaker 3: Now, I would say, like the whole summer, Like just
Speaker 3: seeing how I was playing the whole summer and just
Speaker 3: recapping off of it and the attention I was getting,
Speaker 3: I knew, like, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Okay, who has been your biggest role model
Speaker 2: on the court? And then who's been your biggest role
Speaker 2: model off the court.
Speaker 3: On the court, I would say my dad, just because
Speaker 3: you know, he played for twenty plus years and he
Speaker 3: knows the game and I listened to him and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. Off the court, I would definitely say my
Speaker 3: mom because she all the non basketball related stuff she
Speaker 3: helps me with, So that would be our role model
Speaker 3: off to the court.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the best piece of advice you've received from
Speaker 2: your parents?
Speaker 3: Just be myself. Don't try to like go into different
Speaker 3: crowds and anything. Just be myself. People are going to
Speaker 3: gravitate to me already just because who I am, so
Speaker 3: just you know, don't try to be different.
Speaker 2: Okay, So you were ranked the number one basketball player
Speaker 2: in New York by ESPN. What does that mean to you?
Speaker 1: It's a lot, It's a blessing.
Speaker 3: Because it's just all the hard work that I put in,
Speaker 3: you know, and seeing everybody around me that supported me.
Speaker 3: Just because you know, now I'm number one ranked, people
Speaker 3: have been supporting me. So now that it's just establishing
Speaker 3: means a lot because I work for hardware and stuff
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, So talking about offers in college and schools, I mean,
Speaker 2: I know for me it's a little different, right because
Speaker 2: I'm not a basketball player. But I think like going
Speaker 2: at least being for me a junior and then going
Speaker 2: to college is really stressful. There's a lot going on.
Speaker 2: So I'm sure it's like that for you too. But
Speaker 2: everyone's been taking official visits lately. Do you have any
Speaker 2: schedule that you can tell us about or you know,
Speaker 2: any college insight?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have two visits schedule next month in September
Speaker 3: and then one in October.
Speaker 1: So I got USC.
Speaker 3: And Rutgers next month, and I'm trying to go to
Speaker 3: Ohio State as of my last visit.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and take me through what it looks like
Speaker 2: when you go on these official visits, Like what do
Speaker 2: you do? The tours everything?
Speaker 3: So you get there, you get there first day, you
Speaker 3: might eat with the coaches, be with your family and stuff, chill,
Speaker 3: they take her around the campus. You might watch a
Speaker 3: football game or a basketball game, and during the daytime
Speaker 3: and then you have like you watch their practice, so
Speaker 3: you watch like the basketball team practice and then you
Speaker 3: take pictures in the little uniform or whatever. So that
Speaker 3: I feel like that's the big sting on the visit
Speaker 3: where you take the pictures.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that definitely seems like the best part.
Speaker 2: But do they treat you like royalty? Like I feel
Speaker 2: like I've seen all the snapchat stories of people getting
Speaker 2: like all the stuff on their bed, all the merch,
Speaker 2: all the snacks. That seems really fun.
Speaker 1: Nah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely try to convince you like this is
Speaker 3: the place you need to be, so they want to
Speaker 3: do anything they can to, you know, try to get
Speaker 3: you to come to here a school.
Speaker 1: So definitely treat you very good.
Speaker 2: So I want to go back to your parents for
Speaker 2: a second, because everyone probably talks about your dad when
Speaker 2: it comes to basketball. But I want to know if
Speaker 2: you had to compare your mom's basketball game to an
Speaker 2: NBA player, who would it be and why?
Speaker 3: Oh my mom, I would say, She's like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't even know who do you think you like, Mom,
Speaker 3: I've to hear what you have to say.
Speaker 2: We want to hear from you.
Speaker 3: It might be like a Jordan Poola because she goes
Speaker 3: through a little bit.
Speaker 1: You don't speak dabul so I'll say Jordan pool interesting. Okay.
Speaker 2: I wonder what Jordan has to say about that. He's
Speaker 2: gonna like that calm or not, we'll see. Okay. So,
Speaker 2: sitting court side at the Olympics final, obviously there was
Speaker 2: the you know, little conversation between your dad Carmelo and
Speaker 2: balk Bogdanovic. What is your side of the story, your
Speaker 2: dads not yours?
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I feel like it wasn't no disrespect when he, you know,
Speaker 3: did his little celebration. I feel like he did it
Speaker 3: more to respect him because they're they're core and their
Speaker 3: friends and they battled on the court already, so people
Speaker 3: on the internet jagged. I feel like they it was
Speaker 3: more like I'm doing this to show you, like I
Speaker 3: really look up too.
Speaker 1: So that's what I feel.
Speaker 2: What were the Olympics like for you? Do you think
Speaker 2: that was like foreshadowing, like you're going to see that
Speaker 2: in your future?
Speaker 3: Not experience was definitely crazy, Like just to think that
Speaker 3: I could be there in three or four or five
Speaker 3: years or whatever. It was crazy, like I didn't I
Speaker 3: didn't know going into I didn't know it was going
Speaker 3: to be like that.
Speaker 1: So definitely, Yeah.
Speaker 2: The last four minutes of the final, that whole Steph situation,
Speaker 2: I know, I was going crazy, like I can't imagine
Speaker 2: what it would have been like to be in the stadium.
Speaker 2: That's definitely, like, I really after seeing that, my bucket
Speaker 2: list is definitely going to Olympic finals. So it's really
Speaker 2: cool that you got.
Speaker 1: To do that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: All right, So if someone made a movie about your life,
Speaker 2: who would you want to play yourself? And then who
Speaker 2: would you want to play your mom and dad?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: I feel like in the Lebron movie, Jeff Howard played
Speaker 3: my dad, so I would say Jet Howard just because
Speaker 3: he played my dad. And then for me, Oh, I
Speaker 3: don't know, it gotta be somebody like around my age.
Speaker 3: Maybe the actor from Swagger. I feel like he could
Speaker 3: play me.
Speaker 2: I haven't, but I'm gonna look it up after I.
Speaker 3: Got his name, but I feel like he could play me,
Speaker 3: and then mom maybe somebody like Oh, I don't know,
Speaker 3: nobody could really play her.
Speaker 2: I don't know she can play herself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't know who play her over? Definitely.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you want to see that movie yet? Made?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I was to go to the NBA, I
Speaker 3: feel like a movie that would be good, like if
Speaker 3: a movie was made off of me or off of
Speaker 3: my dad and I'm in it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, for sure, I definitely watch that. Okay,
Speaker 2: So you're known for your love of Paul George, so
Speaker 2: I feel like it's a little bit of a generational thing.
Speaker 2: Like the older generation, I've seen them sort of not
Speaker 2: completely understand why you love PG so much. I want
Speaker 2: to know, like, why is PG your goat slash your
Speaker 2: favorite player?
Speaker 3: He my favorite player just because I feel like he's
Speaker 3: plays way smoother than everybody else. Like everybody else trying
Speaker 3: super hard to score or to defend, he just it
Speaker 3: comes so easy and he just does it like effortlessly.
Speaker 3: Even though he's playing super hard, it just looks like
Speaker 3: he not trying. So that's why he my favorite player.
Speaker 3: And then I feel like he plays a lot of defense.
Speaker 3: He'll guard the best player and then he'll just kill
Speaker 3: you on offense. So that's why he's my favorite player.
Speaker 2: Are excited to see him in Philly this year.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I'm inside. I think they're gonna win. I
Speaker 3: think they're gonna go forward. Really yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be cool to see PG get a ring
Speaker 2: for sure. Okay, So I want to know on the court, like,
Speaker 2: how do you think you're most similar to your dad?
Speaker 2: And how do you think you're the most different?
Speaker 1: Most similar?
Speaker 3: I would say, like the way we score is kind
Speaker 3: of similar, like shooting against the basket, Like I looked
Speaker 3: at his highights and I look at my highlights, and
Speaker 3: it'll be like, you know, some similarity there. Differently, I
Speaker 3: would say, like, I would say, I feel like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, I feel like I shoot a little bit
Speaker 3: better than him at this sage because he was a
Speaker 3: lot taller. He was a little bit taller, and he
Speaker 3: got to the basket a little bit more. So I
Speaker 3: feel like I could shoot a little bit better than
Speaker 3: him at this age.
Speaker 2: Would he agree with that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think he would. I think he would.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So what has been your most memorable
Speaker 2: basketball moment so far in your life?
Speaker 3: Most memorable? I would say my sophomore year one. He
Speaker 3: wants to go play against Lebron. Lebron's sons in La
Speaker 3: So and that game was sold out and it was crazy.
Speaker 1: So I feel like, you know, so.
Speaker 2: Far, who have been the top five best players you've
Speaker 2: played against in high school or AAU.
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question. Oh thank you.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of those.
Speaker 1: Cooper Fly not order, not in order, not in order?
Speaker 3: Yeah, or Flag Brownie James oh VJ VJ Spum he
Speaker 3: was my teammate last year, Boogie flaying, And I would
Speaker 3: say Deor Johnson number fall.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good top five. I like it. What
Speaker 2: are the biggest differences you've seen between when you play
Speaker 2: AU and when you play high school?
Speaker 3: I feel like high school is a little bit more
Speaker 3: like situated. Like high school, you're gonna run a lot
Speaker 3: of players. It may not be like one best player
Speaker 3: on the team. I feel like AAU people are coming
Speaker 3: to the games to see maybe one or two people,
Speaker 3: So like the Showcase players, and like the Showcase games,
Speaker 3: people don't really care about like what team you're on,
Speaker 3: if you're winning or losing. They just want to see
Speaker 3: whoever they're coming to watch have a good game.
Speaker 1: So that's what I feel like totally.
Speaker 2: Do you ever feel, you know, sort of overwhelmed? By
Speaker 2: the fact knowing that, like when people come to those games,
Speaker 2: they're there to see you, or do you think you
Speaker 2: can take it?
Speaker 1: Now, I got used to it.
Speaker 3: Like in the beginning, when I used to see like
Speaker 3: large crowds and stuff, I would get like a little nervous,
Speaker 3: But now it's just I'm used to it. So I'm
Speaker 3: already knowing everybody. Everybody's coming to see me. Everybody wants
Speaker 3: to see me have a good game, So I'm used
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the craziest interaction you've ever had with one
Speaker 2: of your fans?
Speaker 3: I would say, like just being in a crowd full
Speaker 3: of people and people just trying to grab you, touch
Speaker 3: you anyway they can. I would just say, like walking
Speaker 3: through the crowd maybe after a game and not knowing
Speaker 3: where to go, they just follow you running, trying to
Speaker 3: run you over. So I feel like the large crowd interactions,
Speaker 3: that's like the craziest.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, as you get older, you're just gonna
Speaker 2: have to do more that's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1: I just got to get used to it totally.
Speaker 2: So I know, we just previously talked about the five
Speaker 2: best au and high school players you've seen play, But
Speaker 2: I want to know if there's someone in the au
Speaker 2: high school world that you think is underrated, isn't getting
Speaker 2: to love the offers that they deserve and you want
Speaker 2: to shout out. It can be a teammate of yours
Speaker 2: or just someone you played against, one person, or as
Speaker 2: many as you want.
Speaker 1: I would say Bryce James.
Speaker 3: I feel like he could get a little bit more recognition,
Speaker 3: you know, when it comes to like offers and stuff
Speaker 3: like that, just because him being who he is. People think,
Speaker 3: you know, everything's given to him, but he actually works hard,
Speaker 3: and I feel like he deserved a little bit more
Speaker 3: when it comes to that type of stuff.
Speaker 1: So I would say Bryce, Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: I've seen him play and I agree with that for sure.
Speaker 2: Who is the coolest person that's ever come to watch
Speaker 2: one of your high school games or like someone where
Speaker 2: you were like a little starstruck when you saw them sitting.
Speaker 3: Courtside besides my dad, I would say Lebron, probably just
Speaker 3: because it's Lebron him coming to the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't know when he's gonna show up.
Speaker 3: He show up last minute to the game, So I
Speaker 3: just seen him walk through the door right before, right
Speaker 3: before the game started, and that's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it doesn't change your performance at all. Like
Speaker 2: he walks in and you're still called.
Speaker 3: I just was like wow, Like I he came to
Speaker 3: watch me play. I felt like I'm crazy, but I
Speaker 3: still had to be locked in and it's the same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that's a good mentality. So obviously we're
Speaker 2: both in high school. How are you able to balance
Speaker 2: being a student and an athlete because I know, like
Speaker 2: the grades that we're in right now, you get a
Speaker 2: lot of homework, but then you also have so much basketball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not easy at all. It's definitely hard, you know,
Speaker 3: managing like school and basketball. But I just try to
Speaker 3: get all my school work done, Like you know, after practice,
Speaker 3: coming home late, I still be trying to get all
Speaker 3: my school work done or do it before school. So
Speaker 3: any little time, you know, I can find I try
Speaker 3: to get some work done. And I feel like as
Speaker 3: long as he's still on top your work, then you're good.
Speaker 1: You just gotta study for your tyson. You know you're
Speaker 1: gonna be good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what time do you wake up? Usually in the mornings, I.
Speaker 1: Would go out like six fifty six forty five.
Speaker 2: And what what time does school start?
Speaker 1: Eight? Eight, thirty Okay, Oh wait, you.
Speaker 2: Give yourself a lot of time. I literally, like, my
Speaker 2: school starts at eight thirty seven. I'm seven forty. I'm
Speaker 2: still in bed, like I'm so bad at getting up
Speaker 2: early in the morning.
Speaker 1: But I need to work on that for sure.
Speaker 2: Okay, So you talked about Bryce earlier. I think this
Speaker 2: is a fun question that you and your mom are
Speaker 2: gonna like. So if in some crazy world you were
Speaker 2: playing two on two and it was you and your
Speaker 2: mom Lala versus Savannah and Bryce, what would be the
Speaker 2: score and who would win?
Speaker 1: I think we will win?
Speaker 3: Okay, because mym play high high school basketball, so I
Speaker 3: don't know Savannah ever played basketball, and me and Bryce
Speaker 3: obviously played against each other all the time, so we're
Speaker 3: gonna be going at it, and I feel like my
Speaker 3: mom got the edge, so like wet okay.
Speaker 2: But first to eleven, what's the score looking like? Like,
Speaker 2: are you.
Speaker 1: Scoring or nh? Yeah? They definitely scoring eleven. I would
Speaker 1: say seven eleven, eight?
Speaker 2: Okay, are you scoring all the points? I feel like
Speaker 2: your mom like if she's you know, for Comps Jordan Poole,
Speaker 2: like she's definitely she's the scorer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she score a couple of kers maybe like three.
Speaker 2: Three, okay, and then on the Savannah Brice team, who's
Speaker 2: the leading scorer? For sure, Bryce, you're not getting Savannah
Speaker 2: any love.
Speaker 1: You keep like you didn't play basketball, So.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, maybe maybe we'll find out. Yeah, okay, wait,
Speaker 2: how about this if I play you, okay, one on one,
Speaker 2: first to eleven, do you think I could score?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it could score. I don't think you
Speaker 1: will score a lotdow.
Speaker 2: Okay, you know you. I think I could. I think
Speaker 2: I could like sneakily win, Like, even though I haven't
Speaker 2: played basketball since I was like twelve, I just have
Speaker 2: like faith that, like you know, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: watch a lot.
Speaker 1: So now I feel like you might could score one
Speaker 1: or two mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So okay, let's let's do that one time.
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: We'll do like a okay, good, we'll see. I think
Speaker 2: I'm gonna win.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: So my next question is how do you think you've
Speaker 2: evolved most as a basketball player since when you started playing?
Speaker 3: I would say just when I first started playing, I
Speaker 3: was like strictly like a shooter.
Speaker 1: I was just catching shoot you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But now it's just like everything like I get,
Speaker 3: I go to the basket, me rings I could shoot still,
Speaker 3: So I feel like just expanding my game like in
Speaker 3: that way, just trying and find other ways to like
Speaker 3: score and stuff.
Speaker 2: Totally. What's your favorite part of your game?
Speaker 3: Definitely scoring the way that I could score in a
Speaker 3: way like any times I go, how many points I
Speaker 3: could score, Like, that's that's my favorite part for sure.
Speaker 2: M hmm, okay. So you're definitely a role model for
Speaker 2: other young basketball players. I'm sure there's a lot of
Speaker 2: them that look up to you. What did your summer
Speaker 2: workouts look like? How often do you work out, and
Speaker 2: what does your day look like from a basketball standpoint?
Speaker 3: Summer workouts Definitely two times a day, I'm in the gym,
Speaker 3: whether it's lifting weights or on a basketball court, So
Speaker 3: I don't really wake up that early. I still wake
Speaker 3: up out like eleven ten eleven, go to the gym,
Speaker 3: might rest for a little bit, play the game, and
Speaker 3: then back to the gym and at night time. So
Speaker 3: that's like my little summer, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then during the school year.
Speaker 3: During the school years in school and then practice, might
Speaker 3: lift and do the same thing every day.
Speaker 1: When it comes to school, so totally, that's.
Speaker 2: That's a grind for sure. Okay, what is the most
Speaker 2: memorable game you've ever watched your dad playing? And why?
Speaker 3: All the playoffs so he played against Kobe? Like those
Speaker 3: were just every game was just like a battle. You
Speaker 3: didn't know who's gonna win either way. So I feel
Speaker 3: like those are just the icon games.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Are you a big Knicks fan or you
Speaker 2: don't really have a team like that?
Speaker 1: This past year I grew to be like a big
Speaker 1: Knicks fan.
Speaker 2: But okay, so Bandwagon never never been because as they
Speaker 2: got good, you said you started to like them.
Speaker 3: But Dad, okay, you know before I was like fool
Speaker 3: with the Knicks. But now I'm like big Knicks fan.
Speaker 2: So jaylen Bruns and King of New York, that's like
Speaker 2: what But are you? I feel like, what are your
Speaker 2: thoughts on like the Nova Nick's having being the fact
Speaker 2: like they all went to Villanova, Like I don't know.
Speaker 2: For me, it's like weird to think that their college
Speaker 2: team literally translated into their NBA team. I don't really
Speaker 2: know how how that's gonna go. What are you? What
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on this season?
Speaker 3: But I feel like That's why I feel like they're
Speaker 3: gonna win, just because they got the chemistry, you know,
Speaker 3: for once a novall for them was the guys and
Speaker 3: yeah in the NBA producing so kind.
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta hold you accountable here because earlier
Speaker 2: in the interview you said that the Sixers were going
Speaker 2: to win it all. I don't think then you just
Speaker 2: said the King to win it.
Speaker 3: I don't think the Sixer is gonna win the championship,
Speaker 3: oh went like in the playoffs, like maybe gets it.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So then who is going to win the
Speaker 2: chet like the Nigs, the Knicks, but okay, okay, the
Speaker 2: next not the Sixers.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Out of all things your dad has taught you on
Speaker 2: the court, what has stood out most.
Speaker 3: He'll be giving me a little tricks like on how
Speaker 3: to how to defiles, how to score. So I would
Speaker 3: just feel I would just say, like the little stuff
Speaker 3: that nobody talks about, how to get by somebody easier,
Speaker 3: not having to weigh so much energy, you know, in
Speaker 3: the possession. So I feel like that, like just a
Speaker 3: little stuff, nothing big.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally okay. So now I want to move on
Speaker 2: to this little segment where I'm in to say a
Speaker 2: word to you, and you have to tell me the
Speaker 2: NBA player that comes to mind. Ready, So Defense.
Speaker 1: Jew Holiday love it, i Q, Chris.

Speaker 3: into him after the game, him giving me a hug
