Here’s how the Atlanta Hawks surprised fans with a Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl throwback during their game against the Warriors.
- During a game break, the Hawks’ mascot and dance team performed Kendrick’s “Not Like Us,” complete with an Uncle Sam figure.
- The fans sang along, especially hitting the famous “A minor” line just like at the Super Bowl.
- Kendrick Lamar might also light up the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, as hinted by an organizing committee chairman.
- The chairman, who represents Lamar, suggests the rapper will play a role in the games, given his iconic status in L.A.
The Atlanta Hawks brought a slice of the Super Bowl excitement to their recent game. Stepping up during a break, the team’s mascot and dance crew decided to channel Kendrick Lamar with their version of his iconic “Not Like Us” performance. The highlight? An Uncle Sam at the center of it all, mimicking the Super Bowl show with flair.
The crowd was quick to join in, especially when they reached the memorable “A minor” line. It wasn’t just a performance—it was a moment that had everyone in the stands singing along, paying homage to Kendrick’s unforgettable Super Bowl act.
But that’s not all for Kendrick Lamar. He’s eyeing another major stage: the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. According to Casey Wasserman, an organizing committee leader who also happens to be Kendrick’s booking agent, the rapper could very well be a part of the event.
Wasserman, speaking to The Associated Press, pointed to the city’s recovery from devastating wildfires and envisioned the Olympics as a way to reimagine L.A. He reckons having a local hero like Kendrick being involved is almost a sure thing. “He is truly an L.A. icon,” Wasserman noted, hinting at Kendrick’s likely participation.
It’s not new for top artists to join the Olympics. Just last year, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg delivered a taped performance for the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics. It suggests the trend will continue in L.A., and Kendrick’s participation would only make sense.
Fans are already buzzing about the potential for Kendrick at the Olympics. His involvement seems written in the stars, aligning with a city and a stage that embodies his influence and cultural power. However, official details remain under wraps.
Kendrick Lamar continues to make waves, from the court to global stages.
