"Miles Bridges is a winner" - Kevin Garnett $1 million NBA rap battle pitch sparks online debate

Kevin Garnett has a great idea on how to make All-Star Weekend more fun — a rap battle featuring NBA players. Garnett's pitch sparked an online debate, as there are a handful of really good rappers in the league, like Miles Bridges, Damian Lillard and Anthony Edwards

On KG Certified, the Hall of Famer explained that if the NBA wants to increase their audience, they will need some fresh ideas. Garnett's idea is a rap battle featuring NBA players and a million dollar cash prize for the winner.

"I think it's over 20 rap labels in our league owned by players that you wouldn’t even know," Garnett said. "I'm telling Adam Silver, on the Friday night right after the Rookie game, million-dollar purse. You gonna take 10 rappers, they gonna sign up themselves. You gonna do four rounds and then two at the end, and then one win the million."

Kevin Garnett's idea is definitely something the NBA should look into. The league has always been a part of pop culture, and the players are starting to invest in music. Players like Damian Lillard has already released albums, which have been a success.

Fans on social media have begun debating on who would win an inaugural rap battle between NBA players. One fan already has someone in mind, tweeting:

"And Miles Bridges is a winner."

Here are some who other fans online reckon will win, serious or not:

Kevin Garnett provided more details of his rap battle idea, saying that a betting company would sponsor the event. The sponsor would also provide a million dollar cash prize and invite some of the best MCs in the world.

"We gonnna get BetMGM to sponsor the joint," Garnett said. "They gonna give away the million, and then we gonna get the top 10 MCs. We gonna turn the stadium into a booth. We gonna bring Big Tigger out; we gonna have DJ Clue on the ones and twos.

"Him and Drama gonna come out. We gotta bring DJ Drama; we gotta bring out Clue, and we gotta bring Big Tigger out. We gonna do The Basement at 9 o'clock after the Rookie game. Top 10 MCs in the league."

Kevin Garnett's idea is certainly good, but it might not be for every NBA fan. The league could consider it if Garnett speaks to Adam Silver. Nevertheless, it will remain a fantasy for those who want a rap battle at the All-Star Weekend.
