There has long been a lot of crossover between the basketball and hip-hop world. We regularly see artists putting in work in the gym with top hoops trainers and even trying their hand at pro ball, while there is a long history of NBA players hopping in the studio to put out a rap album. As 2 Chainz — who played basketball at Alabama State — once eloquently explained to Dime, a lot of rappers and basketball players come from the same places.
“I know for a lot of Blacks, we thought that our only way to get out of the hood was either rappin’ or playing basketball,” 2 Chainz said. “So it has a common denominator for me and people who have a low socioeconomic status for a background. It kind of feels like you have to have a sport or some kind of other skill set, you dig, to get your mama a house. So that’s why we all want to play basketball, and that’s why all basketball players want to rap.”
However, there are levels to success in that crossover realm, and plenty of debate as to who has done the best when dipping a toe into that other world. On the most recent episode of Uproxx’s “Fresh Pair,” Dave East joined Just Blaze and Katty Customs and the conversation turned to hoops (5:00 mark of the above video). East played college ball at Richmond and Towson before becoming a hip-hop artist, and as such, he’s well-equipped to offer his list of the best ballers who rap and rappers who ball — noting there aren’t many that can really hoop.
“Ballers to rap? I would say, gotta throw Shaq in there. Shaq had a feature with Biggie, so you always gotta throw Shaq in. Shaq was hard, he was probably one of the first ones,” East said. “A.I. I feel like a lot of people don’t put Iverson in there, but I remember the “40 Bars” and all that. I remember Iverson, you feel me. Dame Lillard, to me now, in this generation right now, I think Dame got it as far as a baller that rap.
“Rappers to ball? Me. Yeah, I’m gonna put myself on the top of that list. I gotta get in shape. I feel like a lot of them rapper basketball dudes, they do it now. They got famous, they got a name, and that’s like their hobby in their free time. Like, I really used to play basketball. Before I ever wrote a rhyme or ever really thought about this, I was in the park or in the gym. I was really playing ball. When I see them lists, I laugh. I really used to do that. I need 30 days to get in shape. I got real footage on a real Division 1 program. Go find another rapper, I think 2 Chainz played D1. But it wasn’t too many of them that was. There’s a few of ‘em that nice. Salute the ones that are.”
It’s safe to say East isn’t very impressed by the videos of artists in the lab with Chris Brickley and other hoops trainers, but he does recognize he would need a month to train to get back in actual hoops shape.
Ahead of then, NIKI shared a video for a new single, “Too Much Of A Good Thing.” The tune is carried by a slinky groove and it sees NIKI sing about her mindset in the midst of a new crush. NIKI co-produced the tune with Ethan Gruska, known for his collaborations with artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver.
NIKI says of the song:
“Too Much Of A Good Thing’ is this fun, tongue-in-cheek song about desire, imagination, and the playground of excitement and irreverence they create. It’s about that initial anticipation we all know and love where there’s a little extra pep in your step, which I feel translates even sonically, with that timeless, stroll-along-to-the-tempo groove you get when you are momentarily invincible. I wrote it with my very talented friend Ethan Gruska when I was listening to a lot of Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles, and it was one of the earliest ideas that catalyzed the rest of this album.”

If you have the opportunity to see I Saw the TV Glow in a theater, do so. It’s one of the most original, thought provoking, and The Adventures of Pete & Pete-referencing films you’ll see all year. Written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun (We’re All Going to the World’s Fair), I Saw the TV Glow stars Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine as a pair of high school outcasts who bond over a cult TV show. It’s also an exploration of trans identity (with a killer soundtrack).
I Saw the TV Glow is out in limited theaters now before going wide on May 17, but if you’re waiting to watch at home, it’ll be a bit. It took about four months for The Iron Claw, another A24 title, to make it from the theater to Max (it debuts on May 10), so I Saw the TV Glow could follow the same schedule. If so, that would place it on streaming around September or October.
Here’s the official plot synopsis:
Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show — a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack.
Gunna accompanied the announcement with a new single, “Whatsapp (Wassam),” which you can check out below. It’s produced by Gunna’s go-to collaborator Turbo and Evrgrn. “They sent the wire through WhatsApp,” he boasts on the track, “Hope ain’t nobody to cuss at.”
You can check out the dates for Gunna’s Bittersweet Tour below.

One Of Wun comes out on 5/10 via Young Stoner Life Records/300 Entertainment.
The waning moments of Thursday night’s game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers saw Patrick Beverley get into it with a fan. Beverley threw a ball into the stands twice over his apparent frustration with what the fan had to say in the aftermath of Indiana’s series-clinching 120-98 win, which led to Charles Barkley calling for him to get suspended on Inside the NBA later in the evening.
There was one question that hung over this: What, exactly, did the fan say to get this reaction out of Beverley? According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, things started to get tense when the fan screamed “Cancun…Cancun on 3.”
Sources: The exchange between Patrick Beverley and one of the fans in Indianapolis escalated when the Bucks were breaking huddle Thursday night, and the fan yelled, “Cancún…Cancún on 3.”
NBA is looking into Beverley’s exchange with fans in game and media postgame, per source.
Obviously, a longtime Inside the NBA bit is to say that teams that lose in the playoffs are heading to Cancun, with Chuck and the gang occasionally going “1-2-3 Cancun.” It goes a bit farther back than that — you can read the full story right here — but “1-2-3 Cancun” gets thrown around a lot nowadays, so even though Beverley probably wasn’t in the best mood, it sure doesn’t seem like this alone should have set him off like that.
Rap fans love to try to decode their favorite artists’ lyrics. With Kendrick Lamar, though, it goes way further than that, with fans scanning his album covers, release strategies, sampled songs, and even his song titles for clues to esoteric explanations that allow them to justify their view of him as one of rap’s deepest thinkers (he warned us all about that on his last album, but never let it be said rap fans actually listen to the lyrics).
That tradition continues today, with the release of his Drake diss track “6:16 In LA.” Listeners have been looking for hidden meanings behind the title — beyond the obvious taunt of hijacking Drake’s “timestamp” format — and have come up with connections ranging from nominally plausible to “put the blunt down, you’re too high.”
The first and most obvious meaning behind the title — and the only one I will personally accept as intentional, until Kendrick Lamar says otherwise — is the clear reference to one of Drake’s signatures. For years, Drake’s defenders and detractors alike used songs like “9AM In Dallas” and “4PM In Calabasas” to argue for his lyrical talents, with the latter saying they’d prefer if he stuck to those tracks instead of genre hopping.
Kendrick’s use of the format suggests his awareness of the meme, while also seemingly declaring, “I can do your thing better than you.”
Drake asked for all the entendres lol. Pac birthday is 6/16. The OJ charges were Submitted on 6/16. THE DOUBLE M GLOVE MAN https://t.co/RUHj1WG7VJ
The least stretchy of the fan theories behind the title, this one is reasonable because not only is 6/16 the late West Coast legend’s birthday, but Tupac has already played a part in the beef via Drake’s questionable use of AI. It’s well-known how much Kendrick looks up to Tupac; he even went so far as to deepfake his own interaction with ‘Pac on To Pimp A Butterfly, albeit with the estate’s permission. So, he would definitely perceive some disrespect in Drake faking a Tupac verse (which, to be fair, was the point). Evoking his birthday could be Kendrick’s way of reclaiming and defending his idol’s legacy.
Father’s Day
Yes, Father’s Day is on June 16 this year. Yes, Kendrick Lamar has spent more than a few bars of the beef deploring Drake’s parenting (which, come on, Drake’s never NOT with that kid — Pusha T’s “You are hiding a child” made such a great meme, the narrative stuck for six years despite not even being true). So, this one feels … kinda stretchy, but not really. It flies.
OJ Simpson Murder Trial
Here’s where things start to get goofy. This connection is likely being because with Simpson’s death last month, his name is top-of-mind for plenty of rap fans. In addition, they have never had all that great of a grasp on trial law, despite having a few to be keenly interested in. Contrary to what some have posited, though, the OJ Simpson trial did NOT start on June 16 of 1994. Rather, the initial charges were submitted that day; Simpson was formally charged on June 17. The trial started six months later, on January 24, 1995. Sorry, but this dog don’t hunt.
Euphoria Air Date
The buzzy show may have debuted on June 16, 2019, but Kendrick dropped his “Euphoria” in April. I’m just gonna say I hope you warmed up before this stretch, because otherwise, you probably pulled a muscle.
Any And All Bible Verses
Get outta here. This is why K. Dot stans are so insufferable.
After becoming a TikTok favorite thanks to his offbeat sense of humor, Petey released his debut album, Lean Into Life, in 2021. It was good, good enough to draw the attention of Capitol Records. The label went on to release the artist’s second album, 2023’s USA.
Now, he’s got another new project on the way: an acoustic EP titled The Closest Thing To Being Over Is Going On. Today (May 3), he shared the first single from it, “The River.” The track is acoustic but not stripped down, still featuring a full arrangement with drums that help propel the introspective and brooding tune.
Along with “The River,” the project will feature previously unreleased songs, collaborations with Mike Kinsella (of American Football and Owen) and Sir Chloe, and acoustic versions of USA songs.
Meanwhile, Petey has a run of shows coming up as the second leg of his Tour Of The USA. He’s actually extending beyond the US, though, as he has dates in the UK later this month.

“Let’s be real — ask the other 29 GMs [in the NBA], 26 of them would trade their whole team for our whole team and our draft picks as is,” Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia told the media earlier this week. “The house is not on fire. We’re in a great position. It’s not hard to fix. We have enough talent to win a championship.”
Ishbia spoke to the press on the heels of the Suns, which he purchased ahead of the trade deadline last season, getting swept in the first round of the playoffs. Almost immediately after he acquired the team, Ishbia’s front office gave up a ton to acquire Kevin Durant as a running mate for Devin Booker. This past offseason, basically whatever was left got turned into Bradley Beal, Jusuf Nurkic, and Grayson Allen. At the trade deadline, they took the “if it’s not nailed down” approach to giving up second-round picks for Royce O’Neale. There were other players who were acquired in these deals (David Roddy, Nassir Little) that didn’t get much run in the playoffs, along with a number of guys on minimum contracts.
It’s about as all-in as we have ever seen an NBA team, and the result was four straight losses to Minnesota, three of which were by double-figures. Under most circumstances, you’d assume there would be some major soul searching coming — and to be fair, Ishbia did say “Everything is on the table to evaluate.” But in the eyes of their owner, things could be way worse.
In fact, things are going so well that, in Ishbia’s eyes, 89.7 percent of the other teams in the league would take everything they have and turn it into what Phoenix has. Here’s their cap situation (Spoiler: it’s not great):
HoopsHype
In terms of future picks, Phoenix basically has everything going out the door. There are two seconds: one from San Antonio this year that is top 31-49 protected, so it’s going to the Spurs, and one in 2028 from Boston that is top 31-45 protected. Their first-round picks in 2025, 2027, 2029, and 2030 are out the door, while they gave up pick swaps with their 2024, 2026, and 2028 picks.
“It was never, ‘We’re going to win a championship this year or we got to blow it up,” Ishbia told the press. “Championship or bust, this isn’t bust. We’re in a great position. We’re going to be in a great position next year.”
But how great is that position compared to every other NBA team? We decided to take a look by trying to answer a simple question based on the argument Ishbia made, that 26 of the NBA’s 29 general managers would take everything they have and give it up so they can have what the Suns have — the roster has good players despite the constraints on it as we enter a new CBA that is basically designed to make it impossible to build around a team with three highly-paid stars, but that future draft pick situation is gnarly. Let us begin.
Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta’s got some reshaping of its roster to do, but considering they have some intriguing young players, more tradeable stars (if they go that route with as expected this summer) and some first round picks over the next few years, I’ll say no. However, it’s a conversation they’d probably have for longer than just a second, because Kevin Durant in his current form would immediately be one of the best players to ever wear an Atlanta uniform.
Boston Celtics
lol no.
Brooklyn Nets
Part of the Nets’ draft pick situation is controlling the Suns’ future draft picks, which are shaping up to be incredibly valuable. Even if the team is wandering around aimlessly, controlling Phoenix’s draft alone makes me say no, because I don’t think they’d go from betting against a team to wanting to be that team. That unprotected 2029 first-round pick they have from the Mavs is juicy, too.
Charlotte Hornets
On one hand, 17 picks between now and 2030, along with a pair of interesting young building blocks in Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball. On the other, this would bring the franchise a level of relevancy it has quite literally never achieved since it came back in 2004. Booker and Durant would be the two best players in franchise history, and Beal, even on the heels of a rough year, would be in the top 5-7. So, here’s our first yes, although it’s worth mentioning the Hornets are one of two teams to never pay the luxury tax, which they would have to do here.
Chicago Bulls
A tough one, because they have a ton of firsts and a handful of seconds between now and 2030, and lighting all that draft capital on fire in a short-term maneuver that leaves their future incredibly murky probably isn’t a great move. But also: When has that ever stopped the Bulls in their quest to win as many regular season games as possible before? Truly a coin flip, imo.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Their collection of picks took a hit due to the Donovan Mitchell trade, but they still have an All-Star in Mitchell, two promising young standouts in Darius Garland (even on the heels of a rough year) and Evan Mobley, a reliable veteran in Jarrett Allen, and a few talented youngsters. Also they have multiple first-round picks and a ton of seconds. So no, they would not switch places with Phoenix.
Dallas Mavericks
The Mavs’ collection of draft capital is not especially great, but they have a good team around Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, as opposed to the Suns, which don’t have an especially good team around their stars. Plus I think Mavs fans would revolt if they turned Luka into a team with Booker considering how the former has completely embarrassed the later in the postseason before. So, I’ll say no.
Denver Nuggets
Absolutely not.
Detroit Pistons
I am considering saying yes because lord knows what is ever going through the minds of the people who run the Detroit Pistons (Devin Booker is from Michigan! That might be enough!). Still, with 15 picks coming in over the next few years and a young roster with Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey, and Jalen Duren on it that gives them a bit of flexibility, I’ll lean no. But it’s a very unconvincing lean.
Golden State Warriors
Do the Suns have Steph Curry? No? Alright, moving on.
Houston Rockets
There’s so much young talent in Houston that is starting to blossom and so much draft capital from Brooklyn that I do not think so. I wouldn’t put it past Tilman Fertitta to want a team that can just make the playoffs at this point, but still, probably not.
Indiana Pacers
If they can re-sign Pascal Siakam to be a running mate with Tyrese Haliburton going forward, no. If they cannot re-sign Pascal Siakam to be a running mate with Tyrese Haliburton going forward, still no. They have 20 picks over the next seven drafts! And also Tyrese Haliburton!
Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers are heading towards a weird offseason — James Harden and Paul George can walk, Kawhi Leonard is about to start an extension on the heels of injuries holding him out of playoff games. They have a few good NBA players (Ivica Zubac, Terrance Mann, Norman Powell, some others) under contract and literally a single first in 2030, along with three seconds, and this roster has quite literally won multiple playoff games. That’s enough to push me towards a no.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers won two fewer games than the Suns this year, are essentially running it back, and have 10 future picks (including five of their own firsts). Plus, come on, they’re not giving up a roster with LeBron James on it for one that does not have LeBron James on it.
Memphis Grizzlies
As long as the Grizzlies are not cursed and this year was just an all-time outlier, they have a talented, exciting young roster that won 51 games in 2022-23, and they have 17 future picks (10 firsts) to play with. This year definitely stunk, but no chance.
Miami Heat
Quietly coming up on a huge offseason, as Jimmy Butler is extension eligible, and who knows what ends up happening if that extension doesn’t come. Their future draft pick situation includes five of their own firsts and one second from the Lakers, plus Bam Adebayo is awesome. At the same time, if any team can pull off “stars and then a bunch of guys on minimum/discount deals” it is the Heat, they’ve had interest in Durant and Beal in the past, and they can finally say they got to trade Tyler Herro for stars, which sure seems like something they want to do really badly. I’m on the fence, but ultimately, a very narrow “no.”
Milwaukee Bucks
It’s been a weird year and it’s going to be weird going forward but: Giannis, Dame, Middleton, Lopez, Portis all under contract going forward, three first-round pick swaps that would still mean they have firsts, a single second. I also think the sheer magnitude of giving up Giannis is just something they would not want to do unless he basically makes them trade him. Nope.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Seeing as how the Timberwolves just wiped the floor with the Suns in the playoffs my answer is a pretty emphatic no.
New Orleans Pelicans
Even beyond Zion Williamson and their impressive roster, they still have ultra-valuable picks coming in over the next few years from the Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday trades. Plus like the Hornets, they’ve never paid the luxury tax, although who knows if that changes soon. So, no.
New York Knicks
The Knicks have a zillion future picks and got the 2-seed in the Eastern Conference by winning one more game than Phoenix did in the regular season, and then that roster got out of the first round of the playoffs. As such, nope.
Oklahoma City Thunder
N O P E.
Orlando Magic
The Magic won two fewer games this year with a much younger roster and have 21 future picks to play with. No way.
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, a clean cap sheet, and future picks. Moving on.
Portland Trail Blazers
The Blazers are not very good, but they stink and have 19 future picks including firsts from Boston and Milwaukee down the road that are decent long-term bets. Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe are fun young players, no one makes a crazy amount of money. Let’s say no.
Sacramento Kings
The Kings are going through a period of general good vibes that they probably shouldn’t give up. They have two All-Stars, good role players, and essentially all of their future picks. As such, no, moving on.
San Antonio Spurs
Only one of these two rosters has Victor Wembanyama on it. That one would say no. That one, of course, is the Spurs.
Toronto Raptors
Toronto has some interesting young players (RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley are the headliners) and are flush with future picks, including a pair of Indiana firsts that will almost certainly convey. No, although Masai Ujiri has done some weird stuff over the years, so who knows.
Utah Jazz
Danny Ainge is sitting on a hilarious pile of future first-round picks off of the Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert trades. Even if the roster was completely barren — like, the bleakest roster in recent NBA history, which it is not — it’d be a no just off of the pick situation.
Washington Wizards
You know what? I think the Wizards would do this. They have 28 future first and second round picks, which is a hilarious amount of bites at the apple. But also: Maybe taking picks away from Washington is a good thing, this roster is brutal, Ted Leonsis obviously loves Beal, and getting to bring KD home has seemingly been on the to-do list forever. Ultimately, what else do the Wizards have going on? Yes.
Kendrick Lamar’s latest response to Drake, “6:16 In LA,” has sparked plenty of questions. While some fans wondered about the sample used on the beat and how it connects to Kendrick’s foe, others might be wondering about its mysterious cover art. The Instagram post which bearing the song is currently the only place where you can hear it, but the image attached — a single driving glove bearing the logo of Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group imprint — has fans wondering about its significance.
Unfortunately, Kendrick isn’t sharing and unlike the meanings behind many of the lines on his last two Drake disses, any potential meaning behind the glove is shrouded in mystery. There is clearly a connection to Rick Ross, who went from being one of Drake’s closest collaborators to joining in the crowd of rappers delighting in what looks like Drake’s downfall.
In the wake of Drake’s original response track to Kendrick, “Push Ups,” Ross contributed his own scathing diss, “Champagne Moments,” accusing Drake of getting a nose job and calling him “white boy.” Earlier this week, after Kendrick dropped “Euphoria,” Ross issued a warning to Drake, advising him to call it quits. “He may not even heard this yet but look, white boy,” he said. “I know we not friends, but let me give you this advice because you ain’t got nobody around you. You ain’t got no real n****s around you. Let me put it like that: ain’t no real n****s. Stop. Don’t respond. Don’t respond. You ain’t even peep when the intro came on with that Teddy Pendergrass, that was that Black vibe. Don’t do it. Don’t go write an 8-minute verse.”
We’ll see if Drake takes his advice or digs a deeper hole soon enough.
