“Everyone in our life is now a member of the Lakers on one of Kobe’s championship teams,” Kanye said. “The way that Kobe would say that we all have to come together and win this championship is the way I look at life now.”
“We came up at the same time, together. And now it’s like, yeah, I might have had a reputation for screaming about things — but I’m not taking any mess for an answer now. We’re about to build a paradigm shift for humanity. We ain’t playing with ’em. We bringing home the trophies.”
Kanye and Kobe were close friends and the rapper was even in attendance at Kobe’s last game.
