In every song, with every new artist, video, album cover and even record label, rap artists position themselves as the greatest. Their songs boast of being the best, the very best.How has this translated to the NBA Well the NBA is more competitive now than it has ever been at any single point in recent memory. This is why Rajon Rondo called Chris Paul a hater, because he has a ring and Paul does not.Consider some of the terms that are a part of the hip hop language: haters, diss and an old school term, perpetrators These terms are all motivational for the NBA player. We consider the fan and media base that dislike Kobe Bryant and/or LeBron James to be haters.

Their criticisms only ignites the fire in these players to be even more competitive. Last year Dwight Howard was miffed when he thought the Magic was not receiving the same "props" as the Celtics, Lakers and Cavaliers. Being dissed as a team creates an us against the world mentality. Each player recognizes that he must step up, or in hip hop speak, must "represent" from the opening tip-off.My favorite hip hop term is perpetrators.

For our purposes these are those players who are not all they seem to be I will not name names, but you know who they are. These are the guys who are adored by the media, are named to the all NBA teams, taken number one in the draft and never delivers on the court They are sometimes named the league MVP These players inspire their opponents. If your team has a perpetrator don't expect to win a title anytime soon.More and more the better players in the league are all about winning championships LeBron has been on this quest for seven years. The Chicago Bulls fought tooth and nail to advance with a rookie point guard and the Portland Trailblazers and Oklahoma City Thunder are two of the brightest and most competitive young teams in the history of the league The games are better as well. We see owners making moves in the middle of the season to make their teams better and we see players refusing to sign with teams that are not in playoff contention. Why Because NBA players, want to show up the haters, avoid being dissed or labeled as perpetrators and at all time they want to represent while on the floor..
