NBA players and rap have long been intertwined particularly in the modern era of both. More than NBA players, like Lonzo Ball, spending time in the studio, rappers often intertwine NBA references throughout their verses and songs.

Future is one of the more common practitioners of the above statement, often dropping references to NBA players or teams in his songs. His latest album, Future Hndrxx Presents: The WIZRD, features a reference to Lonzo Ball in the song ‘Crushed Up.’

Bust down my Swiss watch, I’m throwed off

I just joined the big league, Lonzo

Tell me what that lick read, one call

Pink diamonds poppin’ out, cotton ball

Ball and Future have history, at least indirectly, with one another. Ball took some heat for some of his lists of top five rappers and his idea of what rap is, the latter of which included Future.

Not surprisingly, Ball posted to his Instagram story on Thursday morning a video of him rocking out to the new album.

LeBron James was also rocking out to the new album this morning as well back in Los Angeles.
