Pumps And Dunks.

A girl is on the court, and I don't men court side. Hip hop phenomenon Nicki Minaj and superstar basketball player Kobe Bryant to effortlessly slay the cover of ESPN the Magazine "Music Issue". Nicki may not be 6"6" but give her a some Galliano heels and a speaker, then she'll measure up. The duo teamed up for this months Music issue to show the world that they may have two different skills but their still  aiming for the same goal, which is to be the best.

Nicki, is currently gearing up to premier her move 'The Other Woman' with the beautiful actress Cameron Diaz. She plays the feisty assistant to Diaz in the movie, which is planned to be released in movie theaters April 25th . Also, the rapper is currently putting together her third album which will be released later this year. Minaj says is nothing like she's ever done before. the hip hop legend once again broke record by being the FIRST female rapper to grace the cover of the magazine.

Kobe Bryant, isn't teaming up with the pop star to make an album, which would be awesome but the basketball star is still nursing his injuries back to health so that he can go back to dominating the basketball court.

College student, ashley M. says:

 "I'm actually happy to see a girly-girl , on the front cover. It makes me want  to go out and buy it. I like the fact that they took a chance and not only put a female on the cover  but a female MC, that 's so awesome. She's so cute and her heels are to die for. She's dominating every avenue. Go Nicki!" 

Well that's one large step for basketball and one fierce step for females.
