Lil Wayne’s LeBron Comparison
A Phenom in the Game
In a recent chat with Bleacher Report, Lil Wayne made a bold comparison, likening himself to basketball legend LeBron James. His reasoning? A career trajectory that’s as impressive as it is long-lasting.
Tom Brady Vibes
Wayne’s reflection on his career brings up another sports giant, Tom Brady. Just like Brady, who faced constant retirement speculation despite his ongoing success, Wayne feels the same pressure. His journey in hip-hop, starting from a mere 14 years old, mirrors the resilience and dominance of these sports icons.
“You remember Tom Brady, it was every year, even though he was winning the Super Bowl and all that, it still was, ‘Is this the year he’s gonna retire?’”
Passing the Torch
A known sports enthusiast, Wayne also weighed in on the future face of the NBA post-LeBron. His pick? Ja Morant, citing the NBA’s nature as an entertainment powerhouse and Morant’s pivotal role in making his teams competitive.
“To me, I think the obvious answer is Ja [Morant]. The NBA is entertainment. Ja’s teams are actually competitive when he’s there and when he’s doing his thing.”
