This is just my honest opinion of the best rapping sports figures, and some of the not so good. Some players actually have pretty a decent flow, others however make me want to puke. As you know sports and hip hop go hand in hand with each other. So i wanted to make a list of who I think would make decent rappers.

My 5th best rapper

LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 17:  Ron Artest #96 of the Houston Rockets looks down in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game Seven of the Western Conference Semifinals during the 2009 NBA Playoffs at Staples Center on May 17, 2009 in Los Angele

Ron Artest might be controversial on the court, but he's actually a pretty decent rapper. He released a rap album called "my world" and needless to say it was actually pretty decent. He worked with rappers such as Mike Jones, Capone, and Juvenile. He doesn't have the best flow but he's alright.

My 4th best rapper

AUBURN HILLS, MI - MAY 15:  Chris Webber #84 of the Detroit Pistons reacts after a foul call while playing the Chicago Bulls in Game Five of the Eastern Conference Semifinals during the 2007 NBA Playoffs on May 15, 2007 at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Au

He was a decent player, ok really good player, but his rap skills are above average. He's better than some players who have released rap albums. He did produce a track on Nas' "Hip hop is dead" called blunt ashes, so he can't be that bad.

My 3rd best rapper

Roy Jones Jr. is above average in his rapping skills. He has worked with good rap artists such as Lil Flip,Bun B, Petey Pablo, and Mike jones. His album Round One: The Album received mixed reviews.

My 2nd best rapper

CLEVELAND - FEBRUARY 22: Allen Iverson #1 of the Detroit Pistons looks on from the bench during a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 22, 2009 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland won the game 99-78. NOTE TO USER: User expressl

Although he has been the subject of alot of controversy over the years A.I. gets the second spot because out of everyone on this list he seems the most comfortable on the mic, and possibly has the best flow out of everyone.

My best rapper

LOS ANGELES - MARCH 6:  Los Angeles Lakers Shaquille O'Neal on his 32nd birthday opens the Team LA Superstore on Universal Studios Citywalk March 6, 2004 in Los Angeles, in California.  (Photo by Mark Mainz/Getty Images)

Whether you love him or hate him, he's probably been the most successful out of everyone.One of his albums was even certified platinum, so he must be pretty good, plus his rap on kobe bryant was hella funny.(Kobe tell me how my ass tastes).

My 5th worst

LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 18:  NBA player Kobe Bryant arrives at the Los Angeles Laker's official championship victory party at Club Nokia on June 18, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.  (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)

Ok Lil Wayne calls himself the Kobe Bryant of rap music, which is the probably the only way they would ever be linked to rap. I mean kobe's a great player and everything but he is just really not a good rapper at all. His song with Tyra Banks called K.O.B.E. made me cringe after hearing it.

My 4th Worst

10 Dec 2000:  Cedrick Ceballos #23 of the Miami Heat looks on during the game against the Utah Jazz at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida.  The Jazz defeated the Heat 94-92.  NOTE TO USER: It is expressly understood that the only rights Allspor

Cedric Ceballos rapping skills are worse than that "blindfolded" dunk in the dunk contest which was pretty bad.

My 3rd worst

LOS ANGELS - NOVEMBER 5:  Troy Hudson #16 of the Minnesota Timberwolves drives against the Los Angeles Clippers November 5, 2005 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The Clippers won 100-99 in overtime. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges a

Wow T-Hud was so bad that his rap album only sold 78 copies nationwide its first week. Ouch, even his myspace friends wouldn't buy it, I can sell more albums out of the trunk of my car. What a horrible attempt at a rap career.

My 2nd worst

NEW YORK - MAY 12:  Former football player Deion Sanders arrives for the NBC Universal Experience at Rockefeller Center as part of upfront week on May 12, 2008 in New York City.  (Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)

Man Deion what the hell happened? You were such a great player, maybe not that great of a guy, but a great player nonetheless. I mean come on that rap career was a joke right? I'm choosing to only remember your football career, not your music career.

This is by far the most pathetic and horrible.

ATLANTA - DECEMBER 31:  Head coach Les Miles of the LSU Tigers walk on the field during the Chick-fil-A Bowl against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on December 31, 2008 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

Ok I know Les has never released a rap album, but that being said a rap that he did in an pre-game or post game show was easliy the worst flow ever. He did on the other hand have Snoop in attendance which was cool. A rapping grandma seems cooler than les miles. He tried to be funny and wacky but he just made himself look like a jackass. That being said I hope to god he never comes out with an album.
