Lil Dicky Reveals Just How Good Kanye West Is At Basketball, Addresses Ye’s Past Anti-Semitism

by

Lil Dicky is an artist who has certainly taken a break from releasing music. Although he is mostly known for his comedic tracks that embody a specific concept, he has since pivoted to television. His show Dave was a hit, even if it might never come back. Regardless, Dicky is someone that fans have gravitated towards. Overall, he is a funny guy, and he has gotten co-signs from some pretty massive artists. Having said that, he recently chopped it up with Andrew Schulz, where they spoke on a plethora of topics.

During one portion of the conversation, they discussed none other than Kanye West. As it turns out, Dicky knows Ye very well, and it is all because they played rec-league basketball together. The artist and actor said he used to guard Ye while playing three-on-three full-court basketball. Moreover, Ye used to invite him over to his house and they would listen to music together. Needless to say, they had a bromance going on. Unfortunately, Ye changed his number, as he does every so often. From there, Dicky lost contact with him.

Subsequently, they spoke about how Ye has had an anti-semitic streak as of late. Dicky defended Ye a bit, saying that Kanye knew he was Jewish and always treated him with kindness and respect. Schulz offered some pushback there, especially given everything that Ye has been saying this past year. However, Dicky is confident that Ye will do what is right and that while he oftentimes says the wrong thing, he has no hate in his heart. Only time will tell whether or not Kanye is able to prove Lil Dicky correct on that one.

Stephen A. Smith Reveals His Greatest Athlete Of All-Time

by

Stephen A. Smith is someone who gets paid a whole lot of money to speak out about the wide world of sports. Typically, Smith has been known to give some pretty out-there hot takes. However, this is ultimately what makes him entertaining. Smith is well aware of how sports entertainment works, and he always does his best to be interesting. This has ultimately allowed him to enjoy a ton of success at ESPN. At this point, one could even say that Smith runs that network.

Over the past few weeks, Smith has been talking a lot about Tom Brady. This is because the legendary quarterback has decided to retire from the sport of football. Subsequently, many are debating his standing as the greatest player in the history of the NFL. Additionally, some are trying to debate whether or not he was a top-tier athlete. Of course, athleticism and talent are two very different things, and sometimes, they are conflated. During an appearance on Andrew Schultz Flagrant podcast, Smith had to navigate this conflation.

Stephen A. Speaks

In the clip up above, Smith was asked whether or not he thinks Brady is the greatest athlete of all-time. Immediately, Smith said no. Overall, he believes that you can’t really consider Brady to be a top-tier athlete. At the end of the day, he was never truly athletic. Instead, he was just someone who knew how to throw the football well, while also possessing a fantastic mind for the game. Consequently, Stephen A. was asked who he believes are the most athletic athletes of all-time. Smith went on to say that it would have to be Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders as they played both football and baseball at the highest level.

Jackson and Sanders are two people who have always found themselves on top of these lists. They both showcased incredible abilities in their respective sports, so it should come as no surprise that Stephen A. would pick them. As for Brady, he’s probably not too upset with Smith. Even Tom Brady would be the first to admit that he isn’t the most athletic guy in the world. Let us know what you think of Smith’s take, in the comments below.
