The internet was buzzing on Saturday night after Drake’s diss track was finally leaked to the public. Among the many people to react, LeBron James dedicated an entire tweet to the occasion and implied that he‘s enjoying every minute of this legendary beef.
“Nothing like 2 heavyweights doing What They Do Best! For the love of the sport,” James tweeted.
Drake is arguably one of the biggest artists in America right now and he’s got the entire social media world on its knees during this war with Kendrick Lamar. The whole thing began months ago when Kendrick was caught taking subtle jabs at Drake during a verse on the “We Don’t Trust You” album.
It's taken Drake months to respond but the words are a masterpiece and it’s brought a lot of attention to the story. All around the world, fans are coming together not just to congratulate Drake on this win but to celebrate this epic beef which is breathing new life and energy into the scene.
For LeBron James, he has no deep personal ties with either Kendrick or Drake but he likely has some passing familiarity with both as a top-level celebrity himself. As a Raptors super fan and Toronto native, Drake has been on the wrong end of LeBron’s dominance several times before. Of course, as a lover of music and culture who wants to see the most inspired work possible, it’s no surprise that the NBA legend was hyped for this latest diss track and you can bet he’ll be there for the next one.
James, like the rest of us, will be following this story until the end but with a playoff run on the horizon there’s only so much time he’ll have to enjoy the music this summer. At 39 years old, the clock is ticking for the King and he doesn't have long left before his career is all said and done. In the meantime, James is going to do what he can to weather the storm.
A Storm Is Coming For The Lakers
Saturday night is really like the quiet before the storm for the Lakers. With no games at all tonight, LeBron and his teammates were able to take the day off and recharge for the most important part of the season.
Now that the postseason has arrived, the Lakers (and James specifically) will be looking to kick it to another gear and there may not be many quiet nights left like this one. In fact, if James holds to his annual tradition, he may not post again on social media until the end of the playoff run.
With averages of 25.6 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.2 rebounds per game this season, LeBron hasn’t yet lost more than a step on the court and he’s going all-in on a pursuit of the title. With a deep-rooted love and passion for the game, the guy just wants to win and he’ll do anything it takes to accomplish the mission.
