Beckham attended the 2023 NBA Draft with Anthony, looking up to him with aspirations of making the league himself.

After being drafted, Black was asked in a post-practice interview how much he enjoys being a big brother.

"A lot," Black said. "I remember asking my mom for a little brother when I was a kid. He's like my best friend, my guy. That's just my dude, I love him."
