NBA fans react to LeBron James' vibing to Kendrick Lamar during 40th birthday celebration: "Rapping lyrics word for word" 

Earlier this week, LA Lakers star LeBron James celebrated his 40th birthday. In the midst of the celebrations, fans were impressed with the 20-time All-Star's musical prowess.

As expected, a clip from LeBron James' birthday antics quickly went viral on social media. His rapping sparked an array of reactions from NBA fans given his reputation for usually not knowing song lyrics.

Other fans brought up how LeBron continues to slight Drake, someone he had a public friendship with. Over the summer, the Toronto Raptors superfan and Kendrick Lamar had a months-long feud that resulted in numerous diss tracks.

"i know Drake regret getting that tattoo of Bron every single day," one fan said.

"It’s crazy how he used to glaze drake now all of sudden it’s Kendrick," another fan said.

"Why is he so unintentionally funny," said one fan.

Despite being good friends with Drake, LeBron James has sided with Kendrick Lamar throughout their rap feud. Before this party, the Lakers forward went to see him in concert with Savannah in LA.
