The year was 2000, it was All-Star weekend and somebody was about to premiere their new single. No, it wasn’t Jay-Z, Beyoncé, or Rihanna. It was Kobe Bean Bryant! “K.O.B.E” was performed live during the All-Star game alongside supermodel, Tyra Banks! The song consisted of lyrics describing what basketball meant to him (Kobe) by saying, “What I live for? Basketball, beats, and broads.” Every verse was basketball related. Surprising, isn’t it?
