As has been pointed out by many, the song seemed very reminiscent of some of the early Madden game soundtracks.
One user on X wrote: "Liangelo Ball dead a** came out with a 05' 25 years later. He don't have to play weak a** basketball when he could pump out gaming jingles for madden games."

Maybe LiAngelo, 26, should give up on his basketball dream and dedicate his full time/effort to becoming a rapper.

Since he has not really advanced past being a G-League player, the middle-child Ball bro could switch lanes, and pick up the microphone once and for all.
