Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard is not only one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game. He’s also, arguably, the dopest rapper in the history of the NBA.
The eight-time All-Star allowed his two worlds to collide on Sunday night as he dropped an epic Dame D.O.L.L.A. bar in describing teammate Khris Middleton.
Milwaukee Bucks Star Damian Lillard Spits Wild Bar in Press-Con
Speaking after Sunday’s massive win over the Los Angeles Clippers, Lillard dropped one of the most memorable one-liners ever uttered in a post-game press conference:
“Khris is a guy who will zip somebody up and finish him,” Lillard said.

That sounds like it came straight out of one of Dame’s rap verses. It seems that Lillard plucked that out of thin air as well, which just goes to show how sharp this dude is on his feet.
Lillard will also love the recent news about Middleton, who now appears to be closing in on his much-awaited return to action. After 14 straight games on the shelf, the three-time All-Star is now officially questionable to play on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings.
Even if Middleton ends up sitting that game out, there’s no denying that he’s getting close.
Dame has found a new groove alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo of late, and now would be a perfect time for Lillard to get on the same wavelength as Middleton as well with the postseason just around the corner.
