Kyle Kuzma is egging on teammate Lonzo Ball to release an album on the same day as hip-hop legend Nas.
Kuzma actually flocked to Twitter to reveal the challenge, as well as asking his followers if they want Ball to do it.
Below is Kuzma's Twitter poll:
Hey @ZO2_ Nas is dropping his album June 15th… make one by that time and let’s see who is better… America do you want to see this?

To recall, Ball actually has a mini-beef with the hip-hop legend. In September 2017, Ball said on his family's Facebook show Ball in the Family, as reported by Matt Ellentuck of SB Nation:
“Don’t nobody listen to Nas no more.”
Come December, Ball donned a hoodie that featured an image of his face over that of Nas on the cover of his second album, It Was Written.
Though most Nas fans may disagree, critics believe that the 44-year-old has not released an album that has met the standards of his debut classic, Illmatic.
Ball himself has not revealed any plans of releasing an album. He did release a mixtape back in February entitled Born 2 Ball.

It is evident that fans want Ball to release an album on the same day as Nas. Ball himself has not accepted or rejected the challenge. Maybe he's busy cooking something up?
In the event that he does, Ball will be the only player in the NBA to go toe-to-toe with a hip-hop legend. Other athletes have delved into hip-hop. The likes of Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, Kobe Bryant, Damian Lillard have some rhymes in their arsenal. They are wordsmiths in their own right.
