Gucci Mane may be facing 20 years behind bars right now. But he's still flourishing.

Gucci is reportedly making a ton of money. He's releasing projects (and seems to have tons of verses left in his endless stash). And apparently, he's also made a really great impression on former NBA coach George Karl, who referred to Gucci as "underrated" and "overlooked" on ESPN's NBA Tonight last night before calling him his favorite rapper. Yes, George Karl called Gucci Mane his favorite rapper:

Was it an April Fools' Day joke? To be honest, we don't even care. George Karl talking about Gucci Mane on ESPN is a win in our book.

Oh yeah. And as if that wasn't wild enough, this happened during NBA Tonight, too:

SWAGGY G? Ha!

What the hell was going on at ESPN last night?!
