LeBron James is openly “stanning” for Eminem, the man who invented the term “stan.” Eminem released a new album, “Kamikaze,” in the dead of the night and took all his fans by surprise.

James is one of those fans, and he has spent part of his Friday listening to the new album and giving it rave reviews.

LeBron did more than post a video of himself vibing out to the new album. He even gave fans a full breakdown of why the album is so good. He also mentions that anyone who doesn't like it must be a hater who isn't capable of understanding the music. That's usually such a weak argument, but we'll let it slide for LeBron this one time.

But LeBron did criticize the album a little bit. He felt that the order of the songs could have been a little bit better. That's not much of a criticism, but it's still something.

James and Eminem are two of the all-time greats in their respective fields. James is still considered the best basketball player in the world. Eminem might not be considered the best rapper right now, but his legion of fans would certainly argue with that. Not to mention, his overall body of work speaks for itself. Whether you're talking about “The Slim Shady LP,” “The Marshall Mathers LP,” “The Eminem Show,” or any of his other projects from the turn of the century, it's impossible to deny his influence on the rap game.
