Way back on his “The Dedication 2” mixtape, Lil Wayne proclaimed his love of all sports on an interlude appropriately entitled “SportCenter,” by saying, “That’s what I’m into—sports, sports, sports. Every sport: hockey, golf, basketball…of course football. I got a favorite team and a favorite player in every sport. I’m not gonna answer those questions no more.”
Since then, his unofficial ESPN endorsement has yielded an ESPN blog and a handful of appearances next to sports columnists on various ESPN sports debate shows. Thursday Wayne popped in fresh off a Hartford, Connecticut date on his “I Am Still Music” tour, and made sure to plug his “Sorry 4 The Wait” 
mixtape as well as the upcoming Carter IV album on ESPN’s “First Take.”
“Just growth, maturity and different levels of live,” Wayne said, when asked the difference between Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV. “I’ve seen a whole lot of different things that I didn’t even imagine I would see, and I’m here to talk about them. Tha Carter IV album was supposed to drop sooner, so I’m sorry for the wait. You just go to WeezyThanxYou.com, and download [“Sorry 4 The Wait”] for free.” Weezy also acknowledged name dropping BYU shooting guard-turned Sacramento Kings prospect Jimmer Fredette on “Sure Thing.”
True to his word, Wayne did engage is some mild sports debate centered on San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson. The Giants’ closer is an eccentric personality, much like Lil Wayne, and instead of his pitching, Weezy rated Wilson’s sense of humor on a scale of one to ten.
“I’d give Brian a high six,” Wayne said. “I think he has that not trying to be funny type of swagger, which is actually funnier. If you’re putting Richard Pryor at 10, then I would say somebody like a Shaq would be an eight. I can’t put Brian Wilson up there with Shaq.”
I smell haters
I Smell Faggot.
i can smell the lice from your bushy ass eyebrows. Rock Lee lockin’ ass nigga.
if your such a fan as you claim…name his most underrated album in your opinion, more than likely your a new fan so ill give you some time to look on the internet
@nigga please, did you just quote naruto on hhdx? hahaha, best comment ever.
That’s some baby back bullshit. Justin Verlander is the best in the A.L.
co-sign on verlander and ur motherfuckin name
99.9 percent of this losers fans are white…no racist statement here just hoping people see open up and notice the difference in musical taste between blacks and whites
You really are an ignorant piece of shit, aren’t you?
Do you have ANY proof to back up your statement? Show me EVIDENCE of what you just said.
In reality, Wayne has a shitload of black fans of all ages. I have black friends that love Wayne. Also, I post on Lil Wayne HQ forum, and many of them are black. Not to mention, probably about 50% of the NBA and NFL (mostly BLACK athletes) listens to Wayne. Including guys such as Kobe Bryant and Chad OchoCinco
Secondly, did you seriously refer to Wayne as a “loser”?
If having a nationwide fanbase of tens of millions of people, if having a net worth close to 100 million dollars, if driving a $1.7 million Bugatti, if living in a $16 million mansion, if being nominated for 129 different awards and winning 62 of them, if running his own record label, if lasting in the hip-hop game for nearly 2 decades and counting, if putting out numerous CLASSIC mixtapes, one CLASSIC album and other GREAT albums, if getting praised as one of the greatest rappers by his peers including KRS-One, Eminem, Nas, Jay-Z, Andre 3000, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, T.I., Kanye, etc., if all that makes one a loser, then ok I guess you’re right. That’s a pretty damn accolimshed “loser”. Sign me up for that.
^^^I meant “accomplished”
More professional athletes that listen to Wayne:
J.R. Smith, Chris Johnson, Gerald Henderson, Tyrus Thomas, Stephen Jackson, DJ Augustin, Blake Griffin, Jernel Jernigan, Chris Canty.
ALL are BLACK.
Every time you hear somebody ask an athlete whats on their iPod, Wayne is normally someone who every athlete says.
jason, take his dick out of your mouth.
damn, gayson. neva seen so much lil gayne cocksuckin since dat faggot handddyyyyyy wuz on here. lmfao! make sure u breath while ur drinkin lil gayne’z dick milkshake, don’t choke! matta of fact, go ahead, choke!
99.9. percent of his loser fans. LOL why even respond to such a stupid statement? Why entertain people who say dumbass shit like this?
Well if your trying to say that being White means you have no taste in music your a stupid ignorant bastard. Most people who listen to tupac are retarded thugs who only know how to act gangsta when they don’t have a single brain cell. Actually most of this website is filled to the brim with haters who can’t even grasp the English language. If most of his fanbase is White (which I doubt) then so what? Tupac has a fanbase of thugs and Retards. Who’s fanbase is better? The retarded thug fanbase or the White fanbase? These comments about White people not knowing shit because they are from the suburbs need to stop because in my opinion a fanbase Like that is better than an uneducated lazy thug fanbase. Smarts > Skin colour and wheee your from.
ya bc white people arent allowed to enjoy rap. its the year 2011 and people like you are still ignorant enough to think that just bc a person is white they cant know a thing about rap. poser
wow, look at this fuckin homo. Looks like a fuckin female in that picture. clown..
And makes more money in one month than you’ll ever make in your life.
And currently has more fans than your favorite rapper not named Eminem.
so much anger. I feel sorry for you brah. You must have a really shitty life to be capable of even hating someone you dont even know that much.
I agree, what a fucking little midget homo, he’s such a bitch.
Anybody else think Brian Wilson looks and sounds like buddy from “The Hangover”? lol

Why is there a new Lil Wayne article every 10 minutes??
Because WE DA BIDNESS!!!! 100 millions dolla
Weezy I see you playboiiiiiiiiii!
Lol@ Birdman
B. Wilson is that dude, rem. when I thought he’d be a bum a few years back, now he’s an elite closer. If he can stop throwing so many changes up over the plate as of late maybe he can lower his WHIP. SF Giants will repeat as Champs.
Lil Wayne is a fucking pervert and a faggot. I heard him say in an interview that he and Justin bieber “text” each other. WTF!!. Why the fuck is he texting Justin Bieber?? He probably invites him over to his studio where he proceeds to uncloth him and have sex with him.
Another attempt by Espn to keep the African American Demographic happy and keep their “RESPECT”
white lil wayne fans can eat a dick and choke to death on the cum like they know about hardships
lil wayne is the best YMCMB all day
