Drake stepping up his beef with LeBron James with $620K bet on Wolves winning Game 3 has fans trolling the rapper: “Free laker win god damn it Drake”

Drake bets against LeBron James and Lakers in Game 3

The Los Angeles Lakers are in Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3 of their first-round playoff battle. After winning game 2, LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and their teammates will look to carry the momentum against Anthony Edwards and the Wolves.

The Lakers did not play exceptionally in game 2, which had some experts believing that they still have to elevate their game. The way they played might not be good enough to take on the physicality and intensity the Timberwolves could enforce in front of their home crowd.

Edwards and his teammates know they slacked off in that game. Had they continued to play the way they did in Game 1, they could have had a 2-0 series lead. Now, everyone is expecting that loss to motivate them to play to their Game 1 strengths.

The odds have shifted, and many believe the Minnesota Timberwolves have all the tools to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in this playoff series. Among those who believe that is rapper Drake, who posted a screenshot of his bet on the Wolves with this caption.

Lemme see sum real quick Ant.

Drake wrote

The multiple Grammy Award-winning rapper placed a $620,000 bet on Stake. At the time of the bet, the odds were 1.65, which means, if the Timberwolves win, Drake will earn back $1,023,000. For any person in the world, earning back more than $400,000 on a bet would be a good return. But in this case, it was more about the Canadian’s ongoing beef with LeBron James that caught the attention of fans.

Fans believe Drake’s curse will backfire

NBA fans watching this unfold know that Drake’s motivation in this instance might have nothing to do with money. They believe this has everything to do with his beef with the Los Angeles Lakers superstar. However, fans also know that most of the time, when the rapper has placed a bet on a team, it has backfired.

There is a logic amongst fans that Drake’s curse will now help the Los Angeles Lakers win. That curse will end up helping his former close friend win and get a series lead. Fans flooded the internet with such comments, examples of which are below.

The game will prove whether the curse is real or not. Either way, LeBron James and his teammates will need to step up their game if they are to win. They might not bank on this supposed curse, but they will have to bank on a total team effort to even think of sniffing away a victory.

LeBron James and Drake’s beef has split basketball fans

Ever since Kendrick Lamar alleged that Drake was a p*dophile, his reputation has taken a turn for the worse. Many fellow musicians stopped partnering with him, and he lost a lot of face. But what hit the rapper most was when LeBron James switched sides.

After the release of the diss track ‘Family Matters’, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar started vibing to Lamar’s music. Be it in his car, during practice, or even at concerts, the 40-year-old switched sides and has unofficially promoted the Los Angeles native’s music every opportunity he has had.

Those constant promotions for Lamar have ticked off fans who believe the four-time league MVP again gave an example of how he quits on certain situations, especially if it does not benefit his cause. On the other side, there are fans who believe James did the right thing by not siding with a person who has been accused of a lot of things which do not align with the idea of being a respectable person.
