There’s a thin line between rap and hoops…

A few weeks ago, we highlighted some unfortunate cases of NBA players attempting to rap. It usually doesn’t work out too well for them, but credit must be given for their contributions (or lack there of) to the rap game. Now, lets take it to another level: Which NBA superstar is the most similar to your favorite rapper?

Some NBA players are looking to make their presence felt in the league. Others are at the top of their game and have the league in the palm of their hands. A few are the most respected, with over 15 years of success under their belts. Comparisons can be made when we look at the personalities, leadership and the overall success on the court and in the booth.

When we look at how Drake ran the table in 2013, we can’t help but compare him to a certain player in South Beach. What about Ye? Which NBA stars can we compare to Kendrick Lamar and Rick Ross?

Lets take a look at which NBA stars can be compared to your favorite rappers, and vice versa.
