“I’m the Best of Two Generations”: Kanye West Once Picked Stephen Curry and Michael Jordan Over LeBron James While Praising Himself
Throughout his career, American rapper Kanye West has been involved in controversy. But the one he accrued following his anti-Jewish remarks has seriously hurt his career. Kanye reportedly lost over $1 billion as a result of business cancellations as a result of his statements. Kanye West has had several occasional Twitter outbursts, such as when he asked Mark Zuckerberg for money or likened himself to Steph Curry and Michael Jordan. But he left out LeBron James in the conversation.
Rapper Kanye West likened himself to both Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry shortly after the completion of 2016’s NBA All-Star Game. The Bulls legend has yet to respond to Kanye’s comparisons of himself to MJ, but this was the first time for Stephen Curry. But LeBron James’ omission may upset some of his fans.
