While having a fun chat on IG live, NBA All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Jimmy Butler briefly discussed the time when Melo's son met Butler for the first time in Puerto Rico.
Butler recalled Anthony's son calling him “doo-doo” at NBA 2K literally five minutes after meeting him (clip starts around 16:35):
Kiyan Anthony is pretty good at basketball, as you might assume given he's the son of one of the best NBA scorers of all-time.
Unfortunately, Butler didn't reveal who won the game of NBA 2K between him and Kiyan.
With the league on lockdown due to COVID-19, players have been going on IG live together and just chatting since there's nothing else to do.
Before the 2019-20 season got suspended, Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat were 41-24. Butler was averaging 20.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists in his first season in South Beach.
Carmelo Anthony and the Blazers, meanwhile, were in ninth place in the Western Conference standings with a record of 29-37. Melo was averaging 15.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists with Portland.
