\n\tCommon:<\/strong> NBA is one of my favorite things in life because I just love basketball. I\u2019m always paying attention to it. I look forward to it after working being able to come watch a basketball game the NBA like I was a Bulls fan growing up, but I think at a certain point, I just started gravitating towards the players like, players I like. So Steph Curry is one of my favorites. Kyrie is one of my favorites. I love- I like Anthony Edwards. I like Kevin Durant, LeBron.<\/p>\n \n\tBut some of the new guys, I really like, too \u2026 I really like this young dude Jeremiah Fears, he\u2019s coming up on the New Orleans Pelicans and Cooper Flagg got game too. I think V.J. [Edgecombe], he plays hard. I like his game too. <\/p>\n \n\tI like to dream high. So I would like to say Kyrie Irving, but then I was talking to Carmelo one time on his podcast, and he was like, bro, let\u2019s think realistic. Who is your player comparison? I\u2019m still gonna fly high and say D. Wade, Dwayne Wade, I mean, but I\u2019m thinking about comparisons on and off the court when I say him. <\/p>\n \n\tMan, being a ball boy was like it was something I don\u2019t even know if I really grabbed on to what that experience was, but I was there when Michael Jordan, when he first came to the Bulls, so I just got to see a star really becoming like a superstar to becoming one of the greatest players of all time. Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas and Charles Barkley. I used to get, like, sneakers from them, and they would sign them, but at the time, I was kind of like just I was selling them or giving them to giving them to my teachers.<\/p>\n \n\tKeep watching for more!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.billboard.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Common sits down to talk about creating the new track for the NBA on Prime, \u201cVictory.\u201d He opens up about his work with the NBA, his favorite players, his favorite collaborations, working with Erykah Badu, his new project with Madlib, \u2018Piece of the Struggle,\u2019 and more!
