Los Angeles Lakers superfan Snoop Dogg left LeBron James off his list of greatest players to ever play for the Purple & Gold, a shocking move considering the King won a championship for the franchise in 2020, and became the all-time league leader in scoring at Crypto.com Arena.

James, 38, averaged a triple-double in the Western Conference finals as the Denver Nuggets swept them. He played on a torn foot tendon and nearly led LA to a second NBA championship.
Snoop mentioned other Lakers besides Chamberlain that he’d add to his list befor James, including Michael Cooper, James Worthy and Jerry West.
