Louisville star Hailey Van Lith helped lift the Cardinals to the Final Four with a blowout win over Michigan. Van Lith recorded 22 points, three rebounds, and one assist during the win, but it was her epic postgame interview that really got social media buzzing.
Van Lith was good friends with Kobe and Gigi Bryant, so she was asked about what the late NBA legend would tell her as she prepares to continue a run for the national championship.
The answer was simple: “Go f*cking win this sh*t. Hailey.”
“He would say, ‘Go f—ing win this s—t Hailey.’ That’s what he would say,” Van Lith said during the interview. “‘We not done.’ That’s what he would say right there.”
We always love a good f-bomb on live television, especially when it is inspired by Kobe.
