Amidst all the hype, fans were quick to notice Carmelo Anthony and Jayson Tatum in the same frame.

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.
