Chet Holmgren — who was selected out of Gonzaga with the No. 2 pick by the Thunder — rocked a chain containing a pair of dice that added up to No. 7, the number he wore with Team USA when he led them to gold in the U-19 FIBA World Cup in 2021.

It caught the attention of one Carmelo Anthony fan.

“He actin up,” the supporter of Anthony tweeted on a video of Holmgren explaining the meaning behind his necklace. “I know that ain’t a 7 on his neck.”

The Gonzaga product — who was selected No. 2 overall by the Thunder — explained the significance of his chain, which included a pair of dice that added up to the No. 7, while on the red carpet.

“It’s a pair of dice with 3-4 on it, 34 is my number,” Holmgren said about his number he wore with the Bulldogs. “I wore [No.] 7 with [Team] USA when we won gold and 3, 4 adds to 7 — and I’m big on betting on myself.”

After eight seasons with the Nuggets wearing No. 15, Anthony chose to join the Knicks, and changed his number to No. 7. He also wore the No. 7 jersey with the Thunder in the 2017-’18 season with Oklahoma City.
