ICYMI: Damian Lillard & Marvin Bagley III Had a Friendly Rap Battle Over The Weekend

In addition to the draft, NBA fans had plenty of entertainment in the form of two of the league’s best emcees right now. Last week, Sacramento Kings’ Marvin Bagley III was on the show First Take when he was asked about going bar-for-bar with Portland Trailblazer’s Damian Lillard, who is generally considered the best lyricist of the professional sport right now:

Naturally, Dame responded, which then led to a couple of “diss” tracks from both sides — and they’re all dope, to be honest. Check out the brief-but-satisfying battle between the two NBA players below.
