It seems the internet is trolling Drake once again for posting a congratulatory video for LeBron James, on Tuesday, February 7 when he broke the NBA scoring record. LeBron also received congratulations from celebrities and basketball players, including Rihanna, Snoop Dogg, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry. Drake has, however, faced derision over his video congratulatory message. In one tweet, a user suggested the rapper consider a comedy career because he is unstoppable. While playing against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, LeBron broke Kareem-Abdul Jabbar’s 30-year-old record.

Taking place at the Los Angeles Lakers home arena, Crypto.com Arena, the game took place on Tuesday night. Several videos featuring basketball players and celebrities were released after LeBron set the new record. A number of people congratulated the NBA player on his accomplishment. Many fans described Drake’s video as “cringe-worthy.” Drake looks like that teacher at school whom the kids call by his first name, one user joked. In another comment, one user wrote, “SMH bro, that’s the corniest video I’ve ever seen.” Others defended Drake’s efforts: “To all the people here who are slating him, …. What’s wrong with letting people have fun and do what they want?

LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record on Wednesday, and Drake’s congratulations message for him is being trolled on Twitter. As of Tuesday night, James has scored 38,390 points in his career. For James to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record, he needed 36 points coming into the game. A total of 38 points were scored by him. Despite their impressive performance, the Lakers lost 133-130 to the Thunder. As soon as James achieved the feat, NBA on TNT aired the video, which also featured Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Rihanna, and Kendrick Lamar. A basketball was seen in hand by the rapper, who wore an orange hoodie in the video. It appeared that the bleachers on the ball court were empty at the beginning of the scene. The clip begins with Drake saying, LeBron, what a legendary night in NBA history. You are breaking the all-time scoring record, so I returned to the place where it all began: Akron, Ohio. There is a beginning to every journey, and tonight is no different – The background reveals itself to be a green screen. Drake is still in a Miami nightclub. Drake admits that he lied. The truth is that I lied. I’m actually still at the Miami club… Congratulations, brother. My apologies.
Drake’s involvement in these messages has been questioned by some, while others say he simply wanted to participate. This guy is the biggest dweeb of all time, according to a user. According to another user, Drake is in the studio working on a song featuring Lebron James’ line. A warm congratulatory message from Rihanna also went out to LeBron, which read: I am so grateful to be able to witness this moment in history. Among her favourite things about being a LeBron James fan is watching him prove himself time and time again, in the face of all hostility and doubt. James expressed his appreciation for everyone’s support and compliments by wearing a Lakers jersey in his video and saying that it’s always fun to watch a Los Angeles Laker “get it done.” Snoop Dogg appeared in his video wearing a Lakers jersey and said it’s always fun when a Los Angeles Laker “gets it done. Thanks a lot. I am so grateful for all your help, passion, and sacrifices. It is an honour to be a part of something I have always dreamed about thanks to the NBA, Adam Silver, and the late David Stern. My dream of this evening would never have come true in a million years. Fuck man, thank you so much. Besides 38 points, he also grabbed 7 rebounds, made 3 assists, and 3 steals.
