Snoop Dogg, a renowned rapper and music artist, has long been known for his love and support for the Lakers. The rapper marked the beginning of the Lakers-Warriors series with a hilarious meme. He’s doing the same for the end as well, using a clip of LeBron James.

Snoop Dogg‘s love affair with the Lakers is evident in his passionate expressions of support both on and off the court. He is often seen courtside at Lakers games, bringing his unique energy and style to the arena.
Snoop’s iconic presence, with his signature relaxed demeanor and flamboyant fashion, adds a touch of celebrity excitement to the Lakers’ games.
While the Doggystyle artist is also a Stephen Curry fan – he’s called Steph the ‘closest thing to Kobe Bryant’ – his south California roots make it imperative for him to support the Lakers in the clash of Cali.
Snoop Dogg uses a LeBron James clip to troll Warriors fans

Snoop Dogg has been on Warriors fans’ backs since their blowout loss in Game 6. The 51-year-old has used various tactics to troll his Lakers’ second-round opponents in the past couple of days.
This latest clip – which uses an edit of LeBron chilling on a speedboat – is peak banter from the hip-hop legend.

The Lakers headed into the series as slight betting underdogs, just like their first-round clash against Memphis. And just like their first round, they took homecourt advantage in Game 1 itself, setting up a routine series win.
LeBron James was magnificent with a near-triple-double while scoring 30 points on 14 shots in Game 6. The game was essentially done as a contest early on in the 4th quarter.
Snoop had a much more reasonable take on his team’s fortunes in another clip
Following the Lakers’ series win and entry into the Conference Finals, Snoop was obviously jubilant. Yet, he maintained his calm while making a post on his Instagram stories, saying:
“In order to be the champs, you gotta beat the champs. Golden State Warriors, y’all had a great season. Shoutout to all the homies who played with the Warriors. Remember, I told y’all, Lakers in 6.”
Snoop’s optimism for the Lakers resonated with most other fans in their faction. The team remains the most popular basketball franchise in the world – especially since adding LeBron James. They’re going to be a tough nut to crack for Denver.
