Damian Lillard is the ambassador of hip-hop in the NBA. Plenty of dudes in the league can rap, but he’s very clearly the best of them.
He’s got legitimate albums with legendary features attached to them. The dude has also beefed with Shaq. It’s safe to say that Lillard has his stripes when it comes to rapping.
So it definitely means something when he has some high praise for LiAngelo Ball’s new viral song, “Tweaker.”
ALL THE MEMES: This song is the internet’s new obsession
Lillard was asked about the hit song after the Bucks’ win over the Spurs on ESPN. His answer was pretty simple: “I rock with it.”
ESPN’s Michael Eaves asks Dame Lillard about Gelo’s song:

“I been hearing it a lot. It gives me that 2003, 2004 vibe. I rock with it… It’s a slapper, you know? As an artist, you’ve got to respect other people’s artistry. When something is going, it’s going.”
There you have it, folks. Lillard loves it. LiAngelo has something big on his hands.
