A boy, Kiyan, arrived at 5 lbs. 9 oz., and at 18½ in. – with plenty of time to catch up to his 6'8" father.

He already has grandmother Carmen Vazquez gushing, "The baby is absolutely gorgeous and I am so excited to have seen my first grandchild!" She added that baby and mom are "doing fine."

On Tuesday, following the Nuggets' 106-91 win over the New Orleans Hornets, Anthony, 22, had told reporters that Vazquez was to have labor induced that night. "The anticipation is always high this time when you're about to have a baby and about to be a father," he confessed to the Rocky Mountain News before heading to the Denver-area hospital.
