Bad Bunny shouts out this NBA icon during his Super Bowl set
The crowd erupted in joy during the Super Bowl LX halftime show as Bad Bunny took the stage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, bringing his unique blend of energy and talent.
A standout moment of the star-studded night was when the 31-year-old cheered for a basketball legend from his homeland who once defeated NBA star LeBron James.
While performing his song El Apagon, he playfully referenced James. He said, “Y de barria, el que fue campeon primero que LeBron.” It translates to “And Barea, the one who became champion before LeBron,” shouting out JJ Barea. The Puerto Rican basketball player won the NBA championship with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011, defeating LeBron James’ Miami Heat.
For those curious about JJ Barea’s basketball history, he is a 14-year NBA veteran and key player for the Puerto Rico national team. However, he is perhaps best known for his clutch performance in the 2011 NBA Finals, where he helped the Dallas Mavericks defeat LeBron James and the Miami Heat. Barea averaged 8.8 points, 3.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds in that series, and his team’s upset victory earned him a championship ring.
The mention of JJ Barea was not a diss, but a celebration of his accomplishment and Puerto Rican pride. LeBron James and Bad Bunny are actually friends. He expressed his support for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance on ESPN Los Angeles last October. mason and irellshow more.
James said, “I’m so happy for Bad Bunny that he’s able to represent the Super Bowl in San Francisco. It’s going to be super dope and hopefully I can be there to support him.” “He’s a very good friend of mine, so it was great to see him,” he said.
