Amid Social Media Silence, LeBron James Jams to Kendrick Lamar’s New Album Thanks to the Unique Lakers Initiative

LA Lakers find fresh inspiration ahead of nemesis competition. LeBron James, who seemed to enter the championship zone lately with his eerie silence on social media, is taking Kendrick Lamar’s to help lock in. Ahead of the showdown against the Denver Nuggets, with whom the Lakers have an embarrassing record, the roster takes advantage of the team’s unique music project. Let’s dig into it more.

During the 2024 training camp, the Lakers facility had plenty of fresh additions. Well, coach JJ Redick was certainly the notable addition. But apart from that, James took a special initiative to add a layer to the training sessions. It was the in-house DJ, who was none other than the superstar’s old friend, Jameel Davis, aka DJ Meel.

So before the Nuggets clash, the DJ blasted one of the songs from Kendrick Lamar’s new album, GNX. The facility’s visuals feature LeBron James, Anthony Davis and other Lakers players grooving to the music while shooting around!

Not to forget, King James has a special place for Kendrick Lamar’s music. We’ve seen the 4x NBA Champ recommend great music to his fans via his social media. Especially during a pre-Olympics practice game in Paris, where Stephen Curry seemed too tired to repeatedly listen to Lamar’s ‘Not like us’, Bron said confidently, “I love it”, makes a strong case among the Lamar-Drake beef.

Nevertheless, now that Bron has officially stepped away from social media for the time being, he seems to have found a way to suggest songs to his fans. Despite having the fourth seed in the West, the Lakers appeared to have had a shaky start to the season, suffering frustrating losses. So the superstar has taken up the call for the greater good. Tonight, the Lakers have an exciting challenge against the Nuggets.

LeBron James locks in with Bronny before the fierce duel

For the past two years, the Lakers and Nuggets have had an interesting matchup. The Mile-High City clearly seems to be on top of the conflict. In the last 13 match-ups, the LA team has a record of 1-12. If not for the game effort in the 2024 first-round game to extend the streak by one game, the record would be 0–13.

Nevertheless, it’s a new season, a new coach and a new-look Lakers. The team, led by coach JJ Redick, has shown promising signs early in the season. Also, the Nuggets haven’t looked the same since their championship run either. So we could see something new this season.

And with the new music initiative in the practice facility, the team looks locked in. In addition, another visualization from the facility showed Bronny James also grooving to the music. With the 20-year-old making his move to the G-League, fans haven’t seen the father-son duo on the field in the last few games. Are they ready for tonight’s action? Let us know in the comments below.
