As a good Lakers fan, and when he doesn’t blame franchise players for their poor performance, Snoop Dogg goes after Clippers rivals. This was still the case during his last TV intervention, with a tackle of which he has the secret.
As with any city with two top-tier teams, Los Angeles sees its two franchises bring together a very different fan base. The Lakers would indeed bring together the elite of the metropolis, and symbolize the showbiz side. Conversely, the Clippers focus their communication on the popular aspect of the City of Angels.
A belief that holds true in the case of Snoop Dogg. An unconditional supporter of the Purple & Gold, he never hesitates to attack their opponents on the networks. The Nuggets can confirm. But his favorite target is obviously the Clips. The rapper demonstrated it again by targeting the neighbors of LeBron & Cie on the antennas of FOX Sports.
“We not worried about the Sleepers, I mean the Clippers! But I’m not gonna lie, they look damn good. Paul George looks amazing. But I’m waiting for the playoffs. It ain’t about getting to the Conference Finals, it should be Championship or bust for the Clippers.”

The Sleepers (the “Sleepers”, note) – well I mean the Clippers, do not worry us! But no lie, they are really impressive. Paul George is huge. But I’m waiting for the playoffs, because they always tend to take place in the regular season, but collapse afterwards! And for them, going to the finals of conferences will not be enough. It will either be the title or a failure.
Snoop has not forgotten the humiliating exit experienced by Kawhi Leonard and his teammates last year, suddenly asleep during their series against Denver. He therefore remains confident about the chances of his protégés against them, even if he admits his admiration for the form displayed by the men of Tyronn Lue at the start of the season.
Likewise, he does not hesitate to praise the whirlwind departure of Paul George, revenge after his failed postseason. A testimony that will certainly please the main interested party, he who has recently suffered an attack … by a member of the opposing camp. Like what, Uncle Snoop sometimes knows how to be more measured than the Lakers themselves.
While he can only praise the Clippers’ start to the season, Snoop Dogg can’t help but make him a phantom threat to his Lakers. We won’t change the guy so easily.
