Basketball and hip hop mix like steak and red wine: they are good individually but simply incredible when put together. Drake, Bronny James, LeBron James, and the Los Angeles Lakers are part of this mixture.

LeBron James is used to getting shoutouts from almost every rapper and hip hop star in the world. However, there's one particular shoutout that makes him proud in a fatherly way.

Drake just released his latest single, Money in the Grave, Monday. His collaboration with Rick Ross featured hard bars and black-and-white visuals.

However, the thing that caught the attention of LeBron and other hoop heads is one of the basketball jerseys he wore in the video:

SI's tweet is a screencap of Drake's latest IG photo where he is seen wearing LeBron James Jr.'s Strive For Greatness AAU jersey. The other jersey he wore during the video was a throwback Toronto Raptors one.

The LA Lakers star was more than happy with the shoutout Bronny got from a star like Drake. He replied to the Canadian rapper's photo with consecutive fire emojis followed by a nice compliment.

This is not the first time Drake has worn a high school basketball phenom's jersey. Back in 2017, he was snapped wearing Zion Williamson's high school jersey. The New Orleans Pelicans rookie was only 16 years old when Drake wore his jersey, giving him a lot of clout.

Some fans may hate Drake for putting unnecessary pressure on the kid. However, it's important to remember that Bronny is already expected to play in the NBA due to his father's gravitas. He also has the skill to make it in the league. His highlight videos that showcase his all-around prowess are also viral on YouTube.

More than anything, this is a cool shoutout for a player who is yet to play a single minute of professional basketball. LeBron is likely just happy that people appreciate what his son is doing on the court.
