Hip-hop has had a deep impact in sports culture, particularly in basketball.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like that day is coming anytime soon. In the mean time, we decided to match up which rappers’ careers and personas matched up with the Memphis Grizzlies for this edition of our “Into the Bears’ Den” roundtable.
