Nas on LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick

Hip hop legend Nas names LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick as two athletes who continue Muhammad Ali鈥檚 legacy.

In a special bonus episode of The Fight Of The Century, 成人论坛 Radio 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake speaks extensively to hip hop legend Nas.

The Grammy award-winning rapper named LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick as two athletes who continue to carry Muhammad Ali鈥檚 legacy on:

鈥淲hen I look at LeBron James, he鈥檚 very active in things in the community. He has a school, he鈥檚 speaks up when he sees things that are wrong. In his position, that鈥檚 very Ali. He鈥檚 a true champion. I鈥檓 sure lots of people in the limelight are told to stay away from certain topics 鈥 he鈥檚 not that guy 鈥 he鈥檚 the Ali guy.

On Colin Kaepernick: 鈥淗e鈥檚 another Ali. 100%. I know he must feel like, 鈥榟ow are people going this crazy that I鈥檓 protesting police murder and brutality? I鈥檓 trying to fix things by developing awareness 鈥 I鈥檓 on my knees because of the hypocrisy out here, until we fix this hypocrisy and be what America is supposed to be, what it鈥檚 supposed to stand for鈥. He鈥檚 very Ali.鈥
