“Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart are hilarious”: LeBron James is seemingly enamored by the duo as they promote Tokyo 2020 and Snoop jokes about 'hotboxing'

LeBron James takes to his Instagram story to let everybody know he thinks Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg are hilarious in their Tokyo 2020 promo. 

With the Los Angeles Lakers having been booted from the 2021 NBA playoffs nearly two months ago, LeBron James has been as active as ever on social media.

As Tokyo 2020 commences, the ‘King’ takes to Instagram to react to a promo for the Olympics featuring Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart, two celebrities who seem to make any situation more hilarious than it should be. 

LeBron James and Snoop Dogg have known each other for quite some time but became fond of one another following the former’s departure from Cleveland and subsequent arrival in Los Angeles.

The two have shown love to one another on social media with LeBron saying Snoop is the greatest in reference to his commentary on the Jake Paul-Nate Robinson fight and the rap legend appreciating James for bringing LA a title.

Kevin Hart and LeBron James have also shared a relationship with one another for the longest time, with the latter coming up to several stand-up set so his. In return, Hart has shown love to Bron at All-Star and Lakers games.

Snoop Dogg has proven time and time again that he’s got the comedic chops to banter back-and-forth with comedic greats like Kevin Hart. He did so by appearing in a promotional video for Tokyo 2020 and breaking down the various sports that will be featured at this year’s Olympics.

The video basically shows the two riffing with one another as they add one word or phrase to an existing sport to create another sport that is also at the Olympics. Of course, knowing the rapper/producer’s ‘recreational’ lifestyle, he had to slip in a marijuana joke while Kevin stuck to his dark humor. 

LeBron James, who’s close to both ‘Unc’ and Hart, took to Instagram to type out several laughing emojis while writing, “This is hilarious,” beneath the video. Unfortunately for Team USA fans, this is the closest they will get to James acknowledging the existence of the Olympics for the time being.
