ESPN has given Lil Wayne, T.I., Wale, Bun B and Joe Budden face time, but they're not the only members of the hip-hop world who know sports almost as well as rhyme schemes.
Members of Collision Records, a label whose group project "W.L.A.K." (We Live As Kings) earned the No. 1 spot on iTunes' best-selling hip-hop album charts and No. 3 overall this past March, sounded off on several of the hottest 2013 NBA playoffs topics in a roundtable debate hosted by Bleacher Report. Collision CEO Adam Thomason, the label's A&R, Wit, and marketer Erick Hodge joined rappers Swoope and Dre Murray on the panel.
