Different generations of hoop fans grow up idolizing different players. When an athlete is heading towards wrapping up their career, those fans who grew up watching them are hurt the most. As every generation has to go through the process, and with the current lot of aging stars, it’s no different. Recently rapper Lil Wayne sat down for a podcast where he gave LeBron James and Kevin Durant their flowers.

Other than the two superstars, Wayne also talked about Chris Paul. He stated that a star like Paul has been unlucky for most of his career. Regardless, Tunechi talked highly of all three legends while admitting that he has shed tears for CP.

Lil Wayne pays respect to LeBron James and Kevin Durant

Wayne made an appearance on the All The Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. Often referred to as the best rapper alive, Wayne was asked by Jackson about his famous tweet on Luka Doncic. In May 2022, the 40-year-old tweeted “Luka a h*.” Wayne said that his opinion of Doncic has changed since the time he tweeted. Moving forward, Wayne was asked about his favorite players from the league. As someone who has seen the rise of our aging superstars at the moment, Wayne’s answer was very straightforward. He had the usual suspects on the list of his favorite players.

He said, “To watch Bron play now…in the regular season, it felt eccentric.” Wayne said that LeBron is not going to retire anytime soon, therefore this wasn’t the last dance. There have been rumors about King James retiring ever since the LA Lakers got knocked out of the title race. No official statement in that regard was provided by the LeBron camp on the rumors. Lil Weezy also said that he has seen LeBron grow into this massive stardom around his name over the years. Other than LeBron, Wayne gave flowers to Kevin Durant as well.

He said, “To watch the sniper,” while stating that he doesn’t like to see a falling off.
