For the past several weeks, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers has been 
hosting a weekly event on Instagram called #4BarFriday. It’s a weekly competition showcasing people rapping a short freestyle verse which the NBA star selects and highlights.
Today the weekly series received a special entry from the NBA’s reigning MVP, LeBron James. Making his “rap debut”, the Miami Heat star takes a humorous approach as he announces retirement from any further musical endeavors after making the video.

James follows up the initial tweet by offering his support for his NBA peer. The contribution certainly brought more attention to the already growing series, and is arguably the biggest co-sign to date for Lillard’s venture.
Only did that #4barsfriday for the homie @Dame_Lillard movement. Cool thing he’s doing. Yes sir!

It is always good to see NBA players supporting each others in all of their positive endeavors, especially fun driven ones such as this. You can view the video of LeBron James as well as past editions of the freestyle series at the #4BarFriday site.
