Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has always been known for his dominance on the court, but this week, a video surfaced suggesting he might be dropping rhymes instead of dimes. A clip of LeBron seemingly rapping along to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” at the rapper’s concert “Pop Out” at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California has hit the web via social media.It is not clear from the clip that James is actually rapping, but he definitely looks like he’s feeding off of it. James bobs his head to the music and mouths the words with Lamar (a marked difference from his usual courtside stoicism, as you probably noticed).
Aside from LeBron James, fellow NBA stars James Harden, Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan were also in attendance at the concert. The latter two even hyped the crowd up by jumping on stage with Lamar.

While James is no stranger to the music world. He has been involved in several rap ventures over the years, including lending his voice to collaborations with artists like Jay-Z and Drake. He’s also been known to drop freestyle verses during interviews.
LeBron James and Savannah James enjoy Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss tracks
One of the songs that fueled this year’s rap civil war, “Like That,” was played again and again during LA Lakers warm-ups at the NBA In-Season Tournament. That track had LeBron James grooving. The four-time MVP and some of his teammates couldn’t hold back their dance moves while the song blared inside Crypto.com Arena.
LeBron was also caught on camera earlier last month rocking out to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” along with his wife Savannah James. The clip began the online conversation about who actually won the battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
The single is considered Lamar’s scathing attack towards ‘Drizzy,’ his biggest and most successful diss track to date. Many hip-hop publications have praised it as one of the best songs ever written. So much so that even Russell Westbrook got in on the act during the LA Clippers-Dallas Mavericks series, moving his body to ‘Euphoria’.
