Sheck Wes Requests More Input from Kanye West on his Career

Did you know that Sheck Wes was a hooper? I mean, I guess it makes sense seeing that he is friends with Mo Bamba of the Orlando Magic. But who knew he entered the 2020 draft?

Sheck Wes hit Instagram and revealed that the Draft was about to be a night made in his dreams.

“Damn… it’s really real, The 2020 NBA DRAFT, all my life I always wanted to follow my passion for music and basketball,” Sheck shared on Instagram. “Playing basketball and going to play pro in the @nba is something that I always strived for. Tonight that dream comes true!

“I want to thank the @nba for their hard work with the growing the game and every team that gave me an opportunity to work out and talk with them. I also want to thank my team and my fans for always being there! TUNE IN TO THE 2020 NBA DRAFT tonight!!!!”

But if you tuned in to the draft, Wes didn’t get drafted and he returned online to give an update on it. 

Think he was serious about hooping or is he making it apart of a music roll out?

2019 NBA Draft Class Didn’t Know Who Outkast Was, Old Head Twitter Is Distraught #Outkast

2019 NBA Draft

The incoming 2019 rooking class of the NBA is packed with young talent, emphasis on the youth part as evidenced by their lack of Hip-Hop knowledge. When challenged on trying to guess the name of famed Atlanta duo Outkast, the draftees failed miserably but that’s to be expected due to age.

ESPN invited the rookies to a game where they had to guess several key figures and culture items from the 1990s and it was clear that these twenty-somethings were not exposed to some of the references although some of their parents surely lived through it. It was when Outkast was flashed on the screen in the lighthearted game where the gang somewhat stumbled.

It’s all in good fun and the moment began trending on Twitter Saturday (June 22) for good reason. We’ve collected some of the reactions from the social media network below.

Duke Star Zion Williamson Declares For NBA Draft Because Water Is Wet

In a move that should be shocking to no one with even a minuscule knowledge of college basketball knowledge, Zion Williamson has declared for the NBA draft. The Duke freshman made the announcement on Monday (April 15).

Williamson took the college basketball world by storm with his ridiculous hops, freakish agility for someone his size and a man among boys dominance. Virginia still won the national championship, though [Full Disclosure: This writer went to UVA].

Considering that Zion is projected to be the 1st pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, staying in Durham for another a year was never even a question.

In the announcement made on social media, Zion thanks Coach K, “the brotherhood” and Duke for the best year of his life, and maybe more importantly, his momma. Respect.

Also, New York Knicks fans are praying, right, now.

Next up, a lucrative sneaker deal, with a 99.9% chance it will be with Nike.
