Don’t you love it when two manly men can declare their love and appreciation of each other’s talents without fear of sparking teh ghey rumors?

Unlike his boss Lil’ Wayne, who complained bitterly about LeBron totally ignoring him, Drake publicly confesses his deep affection and devotion for all things LeBron. And LeBron feels likewise about Drake.

According to SLAM, Drake often sends LeBron encouraging text messages before and after NBA games. Yahoo Sports reports on one particular touching text sent by Drake to LeBron before the all-important game 4 of the eastern conference finals where the Miami Heat routed the Chicago Bulls. “Tonight is your night,” Drake texted to LeBron from his courtside seat. “I always let him know that it’s his night,” Drake tells Yahoo. “Let’s get it, let’s go out there with a clear mind and forget all the other stuff going on and just stay focused on the task. That ring. Tonight, I told him it was his night. And it was his night tonight.”

James [also] saw something special in Drake and his music, and became a big fan, long before Drake’s debut studio album ‘Thank Me Later’ went platinum last year. The Heat star said the two now have grown to share a familial bond. ‘What we have is real family,’ James said. ‘It’s not just because we are successful at what we do. We really care about one another on a day-to-day basis. Anytime you get a friend that can come and support you in what you do, I really respect that. He has a busy schedule. I respect that. Anytime I get some free time, I try to support him as well.’” Source
