LeBron James is more than just one of the NBA’s most well-liked players. He is also among the most well-liked people on the planet. Even people who aren’t basketball aficionados are continuously following the four-time NBA winner on X, where he has around 53 million followers. Not so long ago, on his X account, James said that he would be attending the famous musician Bad Bunny‘s concert in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

It’s fair to say that James recently attended Bad Bunny’s concert and has taken over the headlines. The NBA world was amazed to see James and his close friend, Draymond Green, attending the concert. James was very happy as spotted in a video trending viral on X. Interestingly, this also comes as a surprise and at a crazy time because James is currently dealing with a lot of off-court issues lately.

One of them is his most recent ongoing beef with the Canadian rapper Drake, where the latter took shots at James in his latest music release. And now, with James attending Bad Bunny’s concert, the NBA fanbase has come up with interesting theories regarding the two. Some claim that James has picked a side between the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef.

James attending Bad Bunny’s concert just confirms that. The Lakers superstar, who is a huge hip-hop enthusiast, is enjoying some well-earned downtime following yet another demanding basketball season. Aside from this, his recent decision to opt into his $52.6 million player option has turned heads with many NBA reporters claiming that James could be on the move this offseason.

The NBA star is linked with teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks this offseason. However, James leaving the Lakers this season is still unlikely, given his on-court chemistry with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

Fans left amused after coming across LeBron James attending Bad Bunny’s concert

Amidst the ongoing LeBron James-Drake controversy, the Lakers star chose to attend another concert, this time it was Bad Bunny’s. Last year, James attended Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert. This year, he attended Bad Bunny’s concert in Puerto Rico. In all this, he ditched his once-old friend, Drake.

Netizens connected the dots on social media and were quick to take to various apps and sites to put forward their views on this matter. Many claimed that James had made his decision regarding his beef with Drake. One fan wrote on X, “He picked a side.” Check out some of the fan reactions below:

Interestingly, this all kicked off with James attending Pop Out, which left Drake upset. In addition, James even vibed to Lamar’s songs on the court and several times with his family.

Fox Sports analyst comes up with an interesting proposal involving the Knicks and LeBron James

The New York Knicks hired Mike Brown, who spent his 11 NBA seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, and lately the Sacramento Kings. Notably, over his career, Brown has served as LeBron James’ coach multiple times. Now that Brown is the head coach, sports analyst Nick Wright believes the Knicks should sign James.

If you are the New York Knicks right now, in a wide open Eastern Conference and you just hired Mike Brown who has been to a Finals with LeBron, you’re not having a very long meeting about Karl-Anthony Towns for LeBron James and how that works, and calling the Lakers to see if they’re interested.

Brown had his finest season with the Cavaliers in 2006–07, helping LeBron James and the team reach the NBA Finals. But they were swept by the San Antonio Spurs. Interestingly, James’ agent Rich Paul earlier claimed that the King is looking for a team with ‘ambition and championship hopes.’ This situation adds more interest to the trade market.
