"GLO!!": LeBron James' pregame clinic goes viral with epic GloRilla shoutout

LeBron James of the LA Lakers was pumped before the game against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. James was jamming to GloRilla's latest single, giving a shoutout to the Memphis-based rapper. He shared the video of it on Instagram, and it went viral.

Before the game versus the Piston, "The King" posted a video of himself rapping to the tune of GloRilla's "Yeah Glo" following a workout. He looked energized and ready to give the visiting Pistons a tough time.

"YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH GLO!!," James wrote.

It's not the first time LeBron James posted a post-workout jam to the best songs on the radio. James has always been pumping himself with music, and it won't be surprising if he drops a big game against the Detroit Pistons.

"Yeah Glo" is the newest single released by GloRilla, a 24-year-old female rapper from Memphis, Tennessee. She became popular in 2022 after releasing the song "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" featuring rapper Hitkidd. She received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Performance.

According to TMZ Sports, "The King" has improved his knowledge of song lyrics after years of getting clowned by internet trolls. There was once a compilation of the four-time NBA mumbling and not knowing the lyrics to a particular song.

LeBron James cleared to play against Detroit

LeBron James of the LA Lakers

LeBron James was initially listed as questionable for the LA Lakers' home game against the Detroit Pistons. He was dealing with a left ankle injury but was cleared to play. He has peroneal tendinopathy but has played through it for more than a month.

The four-time MVP has only missed six games this season, with his most recent one being on Feb. 1 against the Boston Celtics on the road. He sat down to get some rest, which is never a bad idea for a 39-year-old superstar.

Based on his pregame jam to GloRilla's latest single, James is feeling good about the upcoming contest. The Pistons are the worst team in the league based on their record but have been playing well in the last month, with four wins in their last 10 games.

The Lakers, meanwhile, are 28-26, which is good for ninth in the Western Conference.

They are 3.5 games behind the Phoenix Suns for the sixth spot, the last sure playoff spot. If the postseason started today, the Lakers will be in the play-in tournament and play against the dangerous Golden State Warriors.
