Lonzo enters MSG rocking hoodie with face superimposed over Nas album
This past summer, Lonzo Ball famously proclaimed, "Don't nobody listen to Nas anymore ... Real hip-hop is Migos, Future," before backtracking from his comments and declaring that Nas was in fact "real hip-hop."
Lonzo rolled into Madison Square Garden Tuesday night wearing a hoodie featuring his own face superimposed over Nas' classic "It Was Written" album cover.
The sweater was likely part of Lonzo's newly launched apparel collection, which debuted at ComplexCon last month, but has yet to be appear on the Big Baller Brand web store.

Nasir "Nas" Jones is a native of Queensbridge, Queens, so Lonzo's outfit would've been slightly more appropriate for a game across the East River against the Brooklyn Nets. Still, there's no bigger stage for a basketball player to make a statement than a prime-time game against the Knicks at MSG.
You can hate Lonzo now, but he won't stop now.
