Houston Rockets Rookie Karmelo Anthony Accused of Faking His Own Hype Video Using NBA 2K25 Footage, Internet Explodes With 'Nepotism Baby' Memes.
In a twist that has basketball Twitter in a chokehold, Houston Rockets rookie Karmelo Anthony—son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony—is being roasted for allegedly splicing PlayStation gameplay into his official team highlight reel. The clip, meant to showcase his "elite handles," accidentally featured a player doing the "Dab" celebration that wasn't patched into real life yet. Fans have already dubbed him "Karmelo 2K," while his dad's old "Hoodie Melo" persona is trending as a counter-meme. The league is investigating, but the internet has already declared: this is the funniest thing to happen since the last time a ball went through a net without touching the rim.
