by Daryl Nelson

It's been nearly three months since Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash with his daughter and seven others

Kanye West has been fairly silent about Bryant's death. But he finally did the Ye thing compared himself to him in a new interview with GQ.

"He was the basketball version of me, and I was the rap version of him, and that's facts," said Ye. "We got the commercials that prove it. No one else can say this. We came up at the same time, together. And now it's like, yeah, I might have had a reputation for screaming about things, but I'm not taking any mess for an answer now. We're about to build a paradigm shift for humanity. We ain't playing with them. We bringing home the trophies."

Would you say Ye is the basketball version of Kobe and vice-versa?
