Lillard: ‘I ‘m not a team-up type of person’ (1: 37)
Damian Lillard doesn’t see a problem with players teaming up, but he doesn’t think that’s the strategy for him because he wants the challenge. (1: 37)
Portland Trail BlazersguardDamian Lillardresponded to Shaquille O’Neal’s rap song with one of his own that suggests the Hall of Fame center rode on the coattails of his teammates throughout his career.
The feud began last week when Lillard said on “The Joe Budden podcast” that he believes himself to be a better rapper than Shaq, who released a track last Wednesday that said Lillard was not among the elite of NBA guards. And on Tuesday, Lillard answered by releasing “Reign Reign Go Away” online.
O’Neal won four NBA titles in his career – three with theLos Angeles Lakerswhile playing alongside Kobe Bryant and one with theMiami Heatwhile a teammate of Dwyane Wade.
Or, as Lillard put it inthe song he postedTuesday:
“We both could be working at Kinkos and Kobe won you them rings, though “and” Even in Miami, won that on the strength of Flash. “
Lillard also touted his $ 250 million supermax contract and said he “can’t recall you getting that when I was cruising on a 10 – speed. “

O’Neal’s debut album, “Shaq Diesel,” went platinum in 1993, though Lillard downplayed his success, saying on Budden’s podcast that, “People weren’t looking at it like it’s a real rapper. It was like, ‘that’s Shaq rapping.’ “
This summer, Lillardalso exchanged freestyle rapswithSacramento Kingsbig man (Marvin Bagley III) in an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, with Budden declaring Lillard the winner.
