Many people reacted to his performance on social media.

Skip Bayless: "Good for Gelo Ball. He couldn't play basketball the way his younger and older brother can, now he's become a THING in the rap game. Unbelievable."

Adam Aaronson: "I still haven't really processed the LiAngelo Ball thing. I first heard the song in the Sixers locker room in Brooklyn in early January and ended up hearing it every time I was in the locker room for the next few weeks. An incredibly bizarre story, but good for him, I guess?"
