Basketball and hip-hop go hand in hand. The hip-hop culture has been ingrained into the basketball world, defining an entire generation. While players look to emulate their rap icons in their style, rappers make banger lyrics based on their favorite players. However, one of the most hailed superstars of this generation, Kevin Durant has been an avid fan of hip-hop for years too.
