This is a very cool moment ... Carmelo Anthony made HISTORY during the Portland vs. Chicago game on Monday, and he FaceTimed with his son to make sure he was included!
Melo scored 25 points as the Trail Blazers beat the Bulls at the United Center in Chicago -- passing Alex English to become the 18th all-time scorer in NBA history.
Huge moment for 35-year-old Melo ... and his wife LaLa Anthony was in the stands, too! In fact, she busted out her phone to FaceTime their son Kiyan so he could witness the whole thing.
