Damian "Dame D.O.L.L.A." Lillard is widely regarded as the best rapper in the NBA, but Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III is confident he could hold his own against the Portland Trail Blazers guard.
Bagley was asked Thursday on ESPN's "First Take" if he'd be willing to battle Lillard on a future episode of the show, and he said he would.

Lillard isn't interested in appearing on "First Take," but he is down for a rap battle against Bagley.

Lillard has released two studio albums - 2016's "The Letter O" and 2017's "Confirmed" - and collaborated with the likes of Jamie Foxx, 2 Chainz, and Lil Wayne.
Bagley has two mixtapes under his belt and is expected to release his debut studio album soon.
