Drake's newest album, "Scorpion," dropped late Thursday night and includes several sports references, including a LeBron James shoutout.

On the track "Nonstop," Drake raps, "I just took it left like I'm ambidex / Bitch, I move through London with the Euro step / Got a sneaker deal and I ain't break a sweat / Catch me 'cause I'm goin' outta there, I'm gone / How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron?"

The Toronto native and Raptors global ambassador told Uninterrupted in January that James is "one of the most inspirational people in (his) life," and that he planned to make a song to honor him reaching 30,000 career points.

Drake also mentions James' business partner, Maverick Carter, on "Sandra's Rose": "They don't have enough to satisfy a real one / Maverick Carter couldn't even get the deal done."
