Damian Lillard believes there's a correlation between what he's doing in the studio and on the court.
The Portland Trail Blazers' All-Star point guard and rapper said in a tweet Monday that his music career has helped him improve as a basketball player.
Lillard recently released his third album under the Dame D.O.L.L.A. moniker, "Big D.O.L.L.A.," which includes a guest appearance by Lil Wayne.
