Nike Kobe 9 EM “Dusty Cactus”
Lil Dicky: “When I’m really playing basketball I wear my Kobes. I don’t think I’d be who I am as a human being if Kobe never existed. I’m from Philadelphia and he played high school right outside of Philly. When I went to overnight hoops camp, one of his teammates was my counselor and he’d tell me stories about how Kobe would literally get the keys to the gym and be in the gym at 5 AM everyday. I then would set my alarm clock one week for 5 AM and would just shoot for three hours before anybody woke up. That premise, I just applied to everything in life and now it’s rap. Kobe’s work ethic is just so visible to me. He’s not out there to make friends, he’s just out there to win. I think that’s kind of how I approach life.”
