Snoop Dogg, the famed rapper and loyal Lakers fan since the glory days of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, has made it clear that his passion for the team goes beyond sitting courtside.
Each season, Snoop has shown that his love for the game includes a personal touch: he himself is not afraid to jump on the court to show off his skills, generating reactions from fans and even jokes about whether he might have a spot on the bench.
This Tuesday, the charismatic Snoop appeared in a popular stream with Kai Cenat and, without losing his characteristic style, launched a play worthy of any professional court: with a smile, he made a surprising shot, passing the ball under the wall to then score it.
The video, as expected, went viral instantly, provoking a wave of comments and debates on social networks, with some fans even claiming that Snoop could do it better than some of the players on the Lakers’ bench.
Shaquille O’Neal’s message to Snoop Dog
Shaq’s latest birthday message to Snoop Dogg may be one of the most unexpected tributes yet, leaving fans thrilled.
In a recent Instagram video, Shaq wished his longtime friend Snoop Dogg a happy birthday with his usual humor.
“Snoop D-O double mother fu**ing G. Happy birthday with your old ass,” Shaq joked, delighting fans.
But it was what Shaq said next that caught everyone’s attention. He credited Snoop for the Lakers’ iconic three-peat, claiming, “Three-peat because of you, baby.” This bold statement left many wondering about the story behind it.
Back in 2002, as the Lakers aimed for their third consecutive NBA championship, Snoop showed immense confidence in his team.
He even recorded a track called “Purp & Yellow” ahead of the Finals to hype up the Lakers.
With the ability to draw the cameras and an unstoppable energy with every pitch, Snoop Dogg continues to prove that his connection to basketball and the Lakers is special, generating a mix of humor and awe that doesn’t go unnoticed by NBA fans.
