Fans on Twitter were particularly elated to see their favorite stars in the same event. Here are some of the best reactions.

Amidst all the hype, fans were quick to notice Carmelo Anthony and Jayson Tatum in the same frame. Anthony is currently a free agent and there had been some talks of the Celtics being interested in him. However, recent reports on the former Los Angeles Lakers star suggest that the Celtics are not interested in signing him.

Interestingly enough, during the Nike event, Drake and Melo shared a light-hearted moment. The rapper challenged Melo to a three-point contest which did not end well for Drake.

Unsurprisingly, Carmelo Anthony was the winner of the competition between himself and Drake. All the while, Los Angeles Lakers star Russell Westbrook looked on while having a big smile on his face.
