Even decades after ruling over the hip-hop industry, the 61-year-old Dr. Dre continues to amaze his fans with the same dedication he once conveyed to music.

That same discipline caught the attention of fans after Chris Matthews shared a short video of the former member of N.W.A grinding through hard movement.

The NBA shooting coach captioned the video: “Dr. Dre understands it now! 🏀 94degrees and he trained for almost two hrs! He’s a living legend that deserves his flowers. True inspiration. 👏🏽👏🏽”.

In the video, Dr. Dre was seen working out on a basketball court. Within no time, the video went viral, garnering more than 400k likes and thousands of comments.

One fan commented, “his in good shape, it's not easy being in shape at that age”. Another fan said, “This is fire!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🍿🍿🍿”.

Apart from his general fans, celebrities from the music industry also praised the 2010 Grammy Award winner.

For instance, Breyon Prescott, a Grammy-winning producer and record label owner, commented, “My brother The Dr.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”.

The bond between Prescott and Dr. Dre goes back a long way. In a 2020 interview with LEVEL, Prescott said, “If I had to say I had a mentor, it would be Dre”.

While fans praise Dr. Dre’s dedication on the court, his competitive mindset extends beyond this friendly workout.

Olympic dreams fuel Dr. Dre’s competitiveness

Despite a brain aneurysm in 2021 that required a lengthy hospitalization, Dr. Dre dreams of testing himself again in the 2028 Summer Olympics.

During his interview with Entertainment Today on August 13, 2024, he revealed his archery ambitions, which started in junior high. He said, “I’m trying to try out for the Olympics in 2028… Archery”.

He added, “I actually started playing around with archery in junior high. I stopped for a while, and my son bought me a setup. I don't know if it was for my birthday or Father’s Day or something like that, so I have it set up in my backyard”.

The rapper admitted that he practices at home and tries to practice beyond Olympic qualifying distance. He explained, “I heard qualifying for the Olympics is 77 feet, and I practice at 90”.

Being confident, he said, “Wouldn’t that be interesting… especially with it being here in L.A. and win the gold medal. I feel like I could do anything”.

Who would have thought that the king of music could be a mean shot?
