Milwaukee Bucks superstar Damian Lillard shared his thoughts on LiAngelo Ball's viral track "Tweaker" following the Bucks' 121-105 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. During an appearance on ESPN's SportsCenter after the game, Lillard was asked about the song, which has gained significant attention, created by Lonzo and LaMelo Ball's brother, LiAngelo.
Lillard praised both the track and the artist, openly admitting that he’s been listening to the song regularly since its release over a week ago.
"I rock with it, man. I’ve been hearing it a lot, it gives me that 2003, 2004 vibe," Lillard said. "I rock with it, like I said, it’s a slapper. And as an artist, you gotta respect other people’s artistry, and when something is going, it’s going.
"So, like I said, I rock with it, I respect it, and I’m always happy for other people’s success … I’m happy for him, it’s a big record. You’re hearing it everywhere, much love to him."
