We caught up with @kingjames at #NBAMediaDay to ask the hard-hitting questions 😂 @Lakers https://t.co/p1AKEY2pIz
James is close to both artists, which is why it's not surprising that he picked their albums. The superstar even quoted their lyrics numerous times, showing that he's a big fan and listens to their songs frequently.
In 2021, LeBron James appeared in the music video for "Brunch on Sundays" by Nas.
The 18-time All-Star also has a long history with Jay-Z. The two have known each other for a long time and James has been mentioned a couple of times in Jay-Z's songs.
Back in 2008, Jay-Z sampled Too Short's "Blow the Whistle" and used it to diss DeShawn Stevenson, a player who had beef with James. The diss track was truly epic and it showed how close James and Jay-Z were.
Coming to movies, it turns out that "The Godfather" and "The Godfather Part II" are James' all-time favorites.
Back in 2017, James was spotted reading "The Godfather," a popular crime novel by Mario Puzo. The superstar claimed to have watched the movie adaptation six times.
The amazing cast led by Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and James Caan, did a fantastic job and made "The Godfather" movies very popular. The first movie came out in 1972, with the second one coming out two years later.
Even five decades after its release, "The Godfather" is still one of the most popular movies of all time. It's not surprising that James ranks it so high.
