NBA Players Related To Rappers
Here is an extensive list from our friend The Answer comparing NBA players to rappers:
I thought it would be cool to compare NBA players to Rappers, vice versa. I will take into account accomplishments, attitude, age, and skill level in relation to their particular game. Please note, this is my opinion, I could care less about what you think. Some people may have their own comparison and say things like "Is he crazy?" Write you own article then. Moving on.
Starting with the most obvious, this one was already done for me.
Jay-Z - Michael Jordan.
Jordan for now is the best player to ever live taking in to account personal accomplishments, team accomplishments, and his contribution to the game of Basketball. Jordan won 6 rings, made Scottie Pippen, and every one of his teammates the players that they became. I even give him a little credit for making Phil Jackson the coach he is. Jackson is by no means the best coach ever, but thats how he's viewed, largely due to Jordan. Jordan retired, tried something new, and came back.
Jay-Z, say what you want about Biggie, 2 Pac, Slick Rick, anyone. Whats the quote, "Men lie, women lie, numbers dont." Jay-Z has the most number 1 albums of all time. Not just in rap, in all of music. That huge for a rapper in a genre that is still very young and may be struggling with an identity crisis. Little fact, Jay-Z has never had a number one single. I know, weird right. It just means people respect the body of work. Both MJ and Jay-Z talk more shit than anyone in their respected professions. Jay-Z also retired. tried something new, and came back. Jay-Z makes everyone around him better as well. He made Kanye West. Whats the quote about Cam'ron? "The only time you went plat, my chain was on you neck and thats a natural fact." So since Jay-Z has shaped his career like Jordan, and talks about it all the time, it's only fair we give him the comparison.
