Bleacher Report has created a list of the worst athlete rappers of all time. Ranking 12 artists from “worst to worstest,” Bleacher Report notes Kobe Bryant as its worst athlete rapper ever.
“‘K.O.B.E.,’ the ill-fated collaboration between Kobe Bryant and Tyra Banks, is what happens when the unyielding hubris of a first-round draft pick collides violently with the fame-hungry desperation of a washed-up model,” Bleacher Report says. “The result is a vacuous black hole of self-admiring struggle, and wordplay cheesy enough to make Will Smith sound like DMX by comparison.”
A “standout lyric” from the track selected by Bleacher Report can be found below.
“I don’t know, yo,” Kobe raps on the track. “These women come and go / Like the wind they blow / How do I know for sure? / When God talk to me, give me a signal / But until then, all my ears hear is just let me flow.”
A video containing Kobe Bryant’s “K.O.B.E.” can be found below.
Kobe Bryant has been the subject of several raps by emcees. Lil Wayne dedicated his “Kobe Bryant” selection to the Los Angeles Lakers star who is currently injured. Kanye West has appeared in a Kobe Bryant commercial for Nike.
Bryant has played in 18 seasons as a Lakers guard. In those 18 seasons, Bryant has scored 31,700 points, making him the fourth leading scorer in league history. He has earned one NBA MVP trophy, two NBA Finals MVP trophies and four All-Star MVP trophies during his career. As a member of United States’ men’s basketball team, Bryant earned two gold medals in the Olympics. Bryant has also been named to the All-Defensive 1st Team nine times and the All-NBA 1st Team 11 times, according to ESPN.
John Cena, Roy Jones Jr., Chris Johnson and Juan Pierre round out the list’s “worst” 5 athletes who have rapped.
The list also includes Steve Francis, Chris Webber, DeSean Jackson, Clint Dempsey, The 1986 Los Angeles Rams NFL team, Lamar Odom and Serena Williams.

first off if you really heard Kobes non commercial tracks you would say different so read the documentary on kobe as a rapper before you guys start posting foolishness like this.
This Guy Knows Whats Up….Kobe’s Verse On “3x Dope” From Shaq Respect Album & “Philly’s Finest”>>>>>>>>>>
That Song With Tyra Was Steve Stoute’s Fault….
its funny how Shaq has a platinum selling rap album but Rick Ross doesn’t
Had to look it up…it was worth it, LOL
Shaq had a short, but pretty good rap run. He made several pretty decent tracks including one or two with Method Man
I know I personally bought Shaq Diesel when I was like 8 or 9 but I’ve still never purchased a Rick Ross album.
I’m sorry, but as trash as Kobe is, he is no worse than Roy Jones Jr. “YALL MUSTA FORGOT”…lol

John Cena is actually nice! Have y’all ever see him freestyle in the wrestling ring in front of his opponents or before they come down the ring? Y’all buggin’! I’m not saying he’s in the same class as Nas or Joell Ortiz, but as far as athletes go, he’s probably the nicest!
i remember he did a remix of Murs song H-U-S-T-L-E
Ron Artest is pretty wack too. LOL
oh my god yes. that one song that was on that nba 2k game was absolutely turrible.
Roy Jones was ok.
Yeah, ‘Can’t Be Touched’ is still a fucking great song.
Clint Dempsey’s an okay rapper
