Rappers love sports. Pusha T recently stopped by ESPN's 'Sports Nation' to talk about his surprising love of tennis and basketball's current depressing state.

"As far as sports go I’d say tennis first, boxing second," he said about his favorite sports. Interestingly, Lil Wayne also loves tennis.

Pusha went on to explain his lackluster views on basketball. "The whole basketball thing, I’m like really, really depressed about basketball in general," he adds. "This new style of basketball: the teams and the trading and players getting together to be on one team, trying to create the super team. I’m just not into that. The musical chairs, it’s like, you can’t actually love a team because either the players or the owner are always thinking so far ahead in trying to be better for the next year or the years to come."

The rapper's new album, 'My Name Is My Name,' is out now. Songs like 'King Push' and the Chris Brown-assisted 'Sweet Serenade' helped push the effort up the Billboard charts.
