As you all may recall, two weeks ago I wanted to see the amount of fans that would compare NBA athletes to Hip-Hop Artists.
First, I will go through each artist and athlete and give reasons for their similarity.
Lil' Wayne has to be matched up with the young beast that hails from Cleveland (of
course) the 23-year-old Lebron James.
The reasons for my comparison of these two talented entertainers is because of the youthfulness they both possess, and with that in mind, it still doesn't hold them back from dominating their profession. The hunger that Wayne and James obtain may be shown by their hustle and their hunger for success.
The young hustler from Philly, known as Cassidy, best resembles the young guard who
represents the Washington Wizards.
Gilbert has a quiet confidence that he sometimes erupts with a bold statement like last year how he said he and his team would be the first to beat the then undefeated Boston Celtics. Of course, the Wizards were handed a brutal defeat.
Cassidy also has somewhat of cocky attitude, but on he has a split personality; he is also a quiet hustler.
Both had to take a break from their games, Cassidy was incarcerated for gun possession, and Gilbert was injured for the season.
"The King of The South" T.I. best resembles the unwanted Denver Nugget A.I. They both possess a cocky persona, and both believe the game wouldn't be the same without them.
T.I. has a lot of talent and needs to diversify his skills to gain more fans; his new
album "Paper Trail" should hit the target in that department.
A.I. is a semi-washed up shooting guard that is on a team, who doesn't need him. The main thing these two have in common is their egos.
The man who survived through the wire, Kanye West, best resembles Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic.
Howard, coming off a year of having won the Dunk Contest with his Superman Cape on, will be one of the most popular athletes in the league next year with ease.
