When it comes to the world of the NBA, there have been many players who have indulged in making music. Overall, there are some talented individuals who have done this.

“@shaq greatest NBA rapper of all time,” Snoop said simply. Overall, this is a pretty good choice. After all, Snoop was killing it in the 90s when Shaq would have been dropping his albums.
