During her appearance on “Club Shay Shay”with Shannon Sharpe, NFL legend and self-proclaimed fan of LeBron James, GloRilla shared her experience of meeting the 20-time All-Star. When discussing her admiration for James as her second favorite player, after Lakers great Kobe Bryant, Sharpe inquired about the 24-year-old’s top-five list.

Despite mostly highlighting the top NBA players of recent decades, her list contained a unexpected name at the fifth spot.

“Kobe is forever No. 1. LeBron [is] No. 2.”GloRilla said. “I was a big Derrick Rose fan when he played for Memphis in college. Oh, Steph Curry, Steph Curry. And, it’s so crazy who I’m finna say, but Dwight Howard. I used to love Dwight Howard when he played for the Magic.”

Despite his 18-year career, Dwight Howard remains a highly divisive figure in the NBA, with many fans expressing criticism towards his on-court behavior and dedication to the game.

During his time with the Orlando Magic, the eight-time All-Star proved to be a formidable defensive player, earning three consecutive Defensive Player of the Year accolades at the peak of his career.

Out of GloRilla’s remaining four choices, they have collectively earned eight MVP awards, solidifying the fact that Bryant, James, and Steph Curry are among the greatest players in NBA history.

GloRilla’s Take on LeBron James’ Rapping Abilities

Despite endorsing GloRilla’s song, LeBron James appeared to not know all the lyrics as he paused between verses. Shannon Sharpe pointed this out, teasingly mentioning that “he didn’t know a single word.”Nonetheless, she playfully defended the Lakers’ superstar, alluding to his habit of messing up song lyrics.

“He knew the words, he did. .. He knew the words for real. He knew ‘Yeah Glo!’”GloRilla said. “He probably ain’t say certain words, but that was good for him because he don’t be knowing songs, for real. He knew more words than usual when he was singing ‘Yeah Glo!’”
