LeBron James is ebullient following his Lakers’ decisive vanquishing of the defending champions and archrivals Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
King James, 38, also used the brief reprieve between series to get some things off his chest, including the fact that he has grown tired of underlings popping off at the mouth when they’ve accomplished much less in their carers.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar don’t play the No. 1 seeded Denver Nuggets until Tuesday, May 16, 2023 in the Mile High City. Therefore, James took a moment to spout a cryptic message for his 153 million Instagram followers using rap icon Drake:

James and the Lakers put their veritable footprint on the Grizzlies’ back by defeating them in six games during the first round of the NBA playoffs by defeating them by 40 points.
