During Saturday’s off day, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley took to Twitter to proclaim himself the best rapper in the NBA.
This declaration received some blowback from members of NBA Twitter as Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard and Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges were cited as better rappers who also play professional basketball for a living.
Lillard — who recently took shots at Oklahoma City for its free agency appeal — goes by Dame D.O.L.L.A., which stands for Different On Levels the Lord Allows. Lillard owns his own record label called “Front Page Music” and has released several albums and singles over the years.
Bridges responded back to Bazley’s tweet and it seemed like he didn’t agree with Bazley’s assessment. Bazley responded back to Bridges’ doubts by saying to wait until he drops some music and judge for himself.
I’m the best rapper in the NBA
