While LeBron James might not enjoy the current situation around the Los Angeles Lakers, he must feel nice looking back at his career. He has won four championships and could win a few more before retirement. Despite the team’s struggles, he has been in fine form, being among the best in the league. Add to that a resume worthy of GOAT conversation. LeBron has a supportive family and friends behind him who have always been behind him through ups and down. One such friend is Rihanna, who has been very supportive of LeBron over the years.

Rihanna has been among the biggest LeBron supporters over the years. They are also close friends. One thing that no one can deny is Rihanna’s love for the game of basketball. She has attended many NBA games over the years and she’s a big LeBron fangirl. Once, she reportedly screamed “LeBron” near the Cavaliers dressing room in 2015.
