Chance the Rapper blessed USA Basketball with a tribute song, further guaranteeing they’ll win gold
Who better than Chance the Rapper to write a new song dedicated to the women and men of USA Basketball? The song is untitled, but his lyrics capture a sentiment that’s felt among all sports fans:
“We need heroes in our story / we need highlights for a night light, we need glory for a while.”
In the midst of turmoil and in the face of an uncertain future, the Olympic games give us an opportunity to put down our differences, and come together as a nation to root for the ones representing us. And it doesn’t stop at the Olympics, this applies to everyday life. Mr. Bennett is so damn good at making music that’s necessary in these times.
The song is also pretty much his way of blessing USA Basketball, which means both teams are totally going to win gold now. Not that we doubted either team in the first place, because they’re really good at what they do. But there’s a pattern here:
Chance gives a shout-out to LeBron James and Kyrie. A couple weeks later, the Cavs win the NBA championship.
Ay @KingJames thanks for the follow. Are u ready for your blessing? cc: @KyrieIrving @imanshumpert

Conor Dwyer introduces his teammate Michael Phelps to Chance’s music. Later on, Phelps wins gold in the 200m butterfly and the 4x200m freestyle relay.
S/o my homie Conor Dwyer for putting Michael Phelps on to my music and obviously BRINGING HOME THAT GOLD #DwyerNation

Coincidence? Okay, maybe, but CHANCE HAS TO BE MAGIC. HE JUST HAS TO.
