Not sure you could call him an NBA player, but it just fits too well:

Len Bias = Big L

“not Christian Laettner, not Alonzo Mourning”

Shaq had four albums and went platinum, can’t deny his sales even if you deny his skills.

A.I. = Soulja Boy

Only one skill(scoring/making teenage girls dance)
spawned many wannabes with little talent
old school hates them both(too selfish/no effing talent)
won’t leave a legacy when all is said and done

T-Mac/Vince Carter = Nelly

Talented, popular/ more flash than substance

I dont do that, cause my name Shaquille!

I got a vasectomy, now I can’t breed em!

Kobe’s verse on K.O.B.E is so shit…is it just me or do Kobe and AI have no flow when they’re rapping, they just read off thier lyrics in a straight way without acknowledging the beat at any point. Part of rapping is acknowledging the beat and flowing with the beat, not forcing multiple syllables.

Ahhh, it feels good to hear that Shaq rap now in 2009. Fucking fatass, trying to play the ‘09 title off like he wanted it to happen.

Meant to be a joke…poor at that.

No worries. I understand where you’re coming from.

But, Allen Iverson the rapper = Damon Jones the baller.

Shaq rapped too.
/piling on

And Shaq the rapper is like, eh, Brendan Haywood the baller.

AI is Jewelz. Everyone forget about that? I can't recall, but did any of his album ever leak out?

That's way too easy. Kobe rapped, too; he's not Kobe.And, no, I don't think his album leaked, but if you think any of these are real, it may as well have.

2000: Iverson recorded a rap single named 40 Bars. However, after being criticized for its controversial lyrics, he eventually was unable to release it. Going under his moniker, “Jewelz”, the album was alleged to have made derogatory remarks about homosexuals. After criticism from activist groups and NBA Commissioner David Stern, he agreed to change the lyrics, but ultimately never released the album.

Yeah, and Steely Dan won a Grammy over Eminem. I know.

Lifetime achievement award. If Em ends up with half the classic catalogue that Mssrs. Becker and Fagan own, then we can speak.

Let’s not toss AI in the dustbin of history so quickly.

Cheers to you sir. Their mark on their respective professions will be impossible to forget.
