LeBron Details Dream Involving Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Coach K: 'It Was Insane'

LeBron James assembled a truly star-stacked lineup for a recent dream, details of which he shared with his 53 million X followers over the weekend.

Not only did LeBron’s subconscious manage to enlist the legendary Coach K, he of prior Duke University glory and a 2023 The Bear book cameo, but it also secured appearances from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. The latter duo, as fans are already well aware, will soon be launching a new album together, the aptly titled Missionary.

“Just woke up from having a dream I was playing for Duke for Coach K inside Cameron Indoor Stadium!” LeBron told fans Sunday morning. “It was INSANE in there. Told Coach K it was an honor to suit up for him and he said the same thing back to me. He’s such a LEGEND!”

Cameron Indoor Stadium, of course, is the indoor venue on Duke University’s Durham campus where the Blue Devils play. From 1980 until 2022, Chicago’s Coach K, born Mike Krzyzewski, led the team to a historic 13 Final Fours while serving as head coach. Elaborating further on his enviably joyful weekend dream, LeBron revealed that his Duke stint led into a live show at Cameron Indoor Stadium headlined by Snoop and Dre. Sadly, an alarm ultimately interrupted the performance.

“It turned right into a concert,” he said. “Snoop and Dre were the performers and they was doing the song ‘The Next Episode.’ The roof inside Cameron damn near came off! Haha. Then my [alarm] went off and I woke up.”

Sunday night, LeBron bagged his second straight triple-double during a 123-103 win over the Toronto Raptors. This season, LeBron is living out a long-stated dream in real life, as he and son Bronny are both part of the Lakers' 2024-2025 season. Speaking with me for Complex in September, LeBron gave an insightful answer when asked what he would ask his younger self in a hypothetical The Shop episode made possible only through the mastering of time travel.

“I’d probably ask him what his goals are for the next five, 10, and 20 years,” he said at the time. “In terms of advice, I’d just tell him to keep working hard every day and getting better at your craft. Block out the noise and stay close to the people who have been with you since day one. It’s not easy but following that blueprint has helped me stay grounded over the years.”
