CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For any adults, parents or teachers confused on why the kids are shouting, "six-seveen" up and down the halls. Here's a explanation.

The viral meme has origins from a TikTok edit of Hornets guard Lamelo Ball, who is 6 feet, 7 inches tall.

The TikTok features a commentator who says, "He literally moves like somebody that's 6'1", 6'2", but he's 6'7"." When the commentator says the viral numbers, the audio switches to the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by Philadelphia rapper Skrilla and a montage of Ball celebrating and playing on the court.

The song became popular with NBA fans and used widely in edits.

This Lamelo Ball edit has garnered 1.3 million likes as of the publishing of this article.
