Lillard says creating music has made him a better basketball player
Damian Lillard believes there's a correlation between what he's doing in the studio and on the court.
The Portland Trail Blazers' All-Star point guard and rapper said in a tweet Monday that his music career has helped him improve as a basketball player.
Since I started putting out music and taking it seriously I have been better as a player. It’s balance. I don’t broadcast my training or have pick up game highlights that y’all love... but when the real thing comes we see who was doing what when the cameras were off! GoodMorning
