Kanye West Pumps Up Chicago Bulls Crowd

Rapper Kanye West loves his hometown of Chicago and he is always making references to it in his music. With the NBA Playoffs in full swing, he is closely following the Chicago Bulls as they face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round.

West was even on hand for Game 4 on Sunday (May 10), and grabbed the microphone and addressed the crowd from the middle of the court.

West also said what every Bulls fan said to oneanother before this game, that Game 4 is a must win.

If the Bulls win the Cavaliers would be down 3-1 and facing elimination. We’ll find out how West’s motivational efforts will do, but one can expect them to have a huge impact because let’s face it, he is Kanye West.

He even performed during breaks in play.
