Dame D.O.L.L.A -- the alter ego of Blazers star Damian Lillard -- has a special talent off the hardwood: Rapping.
But so does Kings rookie Marvin Bagley III -- that guy can throw down some rhymes (if that's the right terminology). But the two could be heading towards a rap battle, maybe even "8 Mile" style.

ESPN's Max Kellerman said Bagley and Lillard are the two best MCs in the NBA, but Bagley begged to differ -- he said it was himself. And Bagley didn't skip a beat when saying he would be happy to dual it out against the four-time All-Star.

We know Bagley and Lillard will battle it out during Kings-Blazers games this season. Now we know they're game to compete off the court as well.
