LeBron James gets fired up on Nike's sublte Drake diss at Kendrick Lamar's expense

The Dodgers vs Blue Jays World Series had an alternate storyline running alongside the main one. The Blue Jays came out as the dominant team on Wednesday after they secured a 3-2 lead in the series. Blue Jays' big supporter and Toronto native Drake trolled Shohei Ohtani on his Instagram story after that win.

However, the Dodgers turned the series around and repeated as World Series winners. On Saturday, Nike shared an edit featuring highlight-worthy moments from the series on their Instagram account. It also featured Kendrick Lamar's song, "Squabble Up", playing in the background.

Given the recent beef between Drake and Lamar, Nike's choice of song appeared to be a subtle diss to the Canadian rapper. LeBron James shared the edit on his Instagram story on the same day of its upload. He accompanied fire emojis to appreciate the sports giant's way of congratulating the LA team.
