LEBRON James was among the NBA stars who paid tribute to fallen rapper Nipsey Hussle on Friday, Manila time.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar, who's shut down for the rest of the season, wore a shirt inside his gray sports coat printed with the face of Hussle, who was shot and killed on Monday outside his clothing store in LA.
Hussle was best known for his craft featured on his 2018 debut studio album, Victory Lap, which drew positive reviews and commercial success. He was 33.
Jimmy Butler also paid his respects, suiting up in a Hussle jersey during warmups before the Philadelphia 76ers’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
