"He GOATed it" - Carmelo Anthony amused over Michael Jordan dancing to Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us" video going viral

Former NBA star Carmelo Anthony saw the viral video of Michael Jordan jamming to Kendrick Lamar's hit diss track, "Not Like Us," inside a club. The video was posted on social media and went viral after it was revealed that the DJ at the club didn't take any requests. However, things changed when the former Chicago Bulls superstar asked the song to be played.

On the recent episode of Melo's "7PM in Brooklyn," the crew watched Jordan dancing to the rap song. The former New York Knicks star, The Kid Mero, Monica McNutt and guest Michael Strahan were glued to the screen watching MJ.

This led Anthony to ask an important question regarding the song's status after Jordan was seen rocking with it.

"Is 'Not Like Us' officially the GOAT diss song after the GOAT himself requested it to be played in the club?" Melo asked.

The crew turned to Strahan, the former NFL champion, awaiting an answer to the question. The former defensive end for the New York Giants reasoned that if Jordan requested the song to be played, it could mean it was a GOAT diss track.

Simply put, Jordan's blessing improved the status of the song.

"He GOATed it," Carmelo Anthony said.

MJ isn't the only player of that caliber to be seen jamming to the song. When it first came out, LA Lakers star LeBron James was also vibing to it. He even attended Lamar's "The Pop Out: Ken & Friends," held at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.

Lamar wrote the song while he and Canadian rapper Drake were still at odds. With the help of producers Mustard, Sounwave, and Sean Momberger, they made an instant classic. On YouTube, the audio version has amassed 231 million views, while the music video has 317 million views.

The song has been streamed 1.3 billion times on Spotify since its release on May 4, 2024.

Carmelo Anthony reflected on his making it to the Hall of Fame

Carmelo Anthony is one of the players who will be inducted into the class of 2025 in Springfield, Massachusetts. On the latest episode of his podcast, he was congratulated by his co-hosts, McNutt and The Kid Mero.

Anthony said he was grateful that he still has enough awards to be inducted into the Hall of Fame despite not winning a title. According to him, not having a championship and being immortalized speaks volumes about the career he's had.

"It's a testament to the body of work that was put into the game of basketball."

Although he didn't win a title, Carmelo Anthony was still one of the top talents in the sport. He was a 10-time All-Star, a six-time All-NBA, a three-time Olympic Gold medalist, and part of the league's 75th anniversary team.
