Just when we thought it was all about the NBA Draft, Damian Lillard, known as Dame D.O.L.L.A in rap circles, went to Twitter to present a Marvin Bagley diss track. Bagley challenged the Trail Blazers guard to a rap battle Thursday on ESPN's "First Take," saying he's the best MC in the NBA.

Just hours later, Dame delivered. In the track, Dame D.O.L.L.A throws a couple subtle digs at the Kings forward.

"You ain't established in the league for one. You got potential, but this rapping is a breeze at lunch, easy," Lillard raps.
"You a clown, so go and enjoy the circus."
It didn't take long for social media to find the track, and listeners were shook. We knew Dame went hard — but not this hard.
"How a king come to battle knowing the kingdom worthless?"

Dame closed his freestyle with a mic drop saying, "stop playing with me, you boys is babies."
Does Bagley have a response ready? We'll have to wait and see.
