Rapper Snoop Dogg, a dedicated Los Angeles Lakers supporter since the era of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, has made it evident that his devotion to the team extends well beyond merely being a spectator at games.
Throughout each NBA season, Snoop’s enthusiasm shines through as he often showcases his own basketball abilities, eliciting laughter and speculation from supporters about whether he could land a role on the team.
This past Tuesday, the lively Snoop took part in a popular livestream with Kai Cenat, where he displayed his signature flair by executing an impressive shot. With his trademark grin, he managed a clever basket by passing the ball under a barrier before scoring.
The clip quickly gained traction on social media, sparking discussions and playful debates, with fans suggesting that Snoop’s skills might rival some of the players currently on the Lakers’ bench.
Shaquille O’Neal’s shoutout to Snoop Dogg
In a delightful twist, Shaquille O’Neal delivered an unexpected birthday shoutout to Snoop Dogg, much to the delight of their fans.
In a recent Instagram video, Shaq humorously wished Snoop a happy birthday, playfully saying, “Snoop D-O double mother fu**ing G. Happy birthday with your old ass,” which amused many viewers.
What truly captured attention, however, was Shaq’s comment attributing the Lakers’ remarkable three-peat to Snoop Dogg, stating, “Three-peat because of you, baby.” This bold remark left fans curious about the backstory.
During the Lakers’ quest for their third consecutive championship in 2002, Snoop demonstrated unwavering confidence in his team.
He even released a song titled “Purp & Yellow” to rally up support for the team before the Finals.
With his larger-than-life persona and relentless enthusiasm, Snoop Dogg continues to forge a special connection with the Lakers and the sport of basketball, blending humor and admiration that resonates with NBA fans everywhere.
