"My son is now a student here at Syracuse," Carmelo said. "Watching him walk the same halls, wear the same colors, sit in this dome, is one of the proudest moments of my life. It’s not just about following in my footsteps, it’s about watching him create his own story. That’s the power of family; that’s the power of legacy, and it reminds me that the seeds you plant today can grow far beyond what you ever imagined."
