He listens to Lil Wayne’s classic A Milli, turns up the volume, and raps along with the chorus.

The announcement then cuts to the release date for The Predicament – ​​James’s collaboration with Beats.

The launch is scheduled for June 25th.

James and Wayne have known each other for over a decade.

“I would say I’m like a LeBron,” the rapper said in December.

“I released my first solo album when I was 14, and that’s the same album I’m talking about that went platinum.

“The phenomenon that emerged and I put something in that came out.

“And I’ve been doing it at this rate or more ever since, just like him.”

Former NBA star Austin Rivers has weighed in on reports linking broadcaster JJ Redick to the head coaching position of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Despite the lack of experience, the analyst believes Redick can still command a locker room if James is behind him.

“He has no coaching experience at any level, so he will be questioned, naturally.” Rivers admitted on the Pat McAfee Show.

“But I think in terms of the Lakers it all starts at the top.

“If they see LeBron believing in him and respecting him, everyone will fall in line.

“So I don’t think this signing would happen unless LeBron obviously wanted it to happen.”

Stephen A. Smith attacked Redick and James over their Mind The Game podcast.

Time for LeBron to retire?

“At the end of the day, I hate to say it, but I believe it in my soul right now: I wish LeBron James would retire.

“Not because I don’t want to see more LeBron James, not because I don’t appreciate LeBron James.

“But I honestly believe that deep down, the longer LeBron James continues to play basketball, the more it will hurt his legacy and the more it will continue to hurt his GOAT argument.

“As long as he steps on that floor, every season, there will be expectations that he will win a championship.

“And when he doesn’t, we’ll be looking at him and saying, ‘Well, what happened now?’”

The veteran sportscaster described the timing of the podcast’s launch as “egregious,” claiming they both knew coach Darvin Ham’s job was under pressure.

“JJ is a different situation because of the situation that LeBron James and his team created by doing that podcast in the middle of the season knowing that Darvin Ham was on the hot seat,” Smith he said.

“I don’t care what anyone says, that was a very egregious thing to do.

“I’m not talking about the podcast itself, I’m talking about the moment.”

Reddick is believed to have had an interview about the Lakers job over the weekend.
