Dwyane Wade & Shaq
Wade doesn't agree with some of Dame's bars.

Over the past week, one of the biggest stories in the NBA has been the rap beef between the legendary Shaq and Portland Trailblazers superstar Damian Lillard. It all started when Lillard went on The Joe Budden Podcast and had some interesting remarks about Shaq's rap career. Dame said he could rap miles around Shaq and that the former Laker's rap career was seen as more of a gimmick than something serious. This led to a scathing diss track from Shaq which was followed up with a response from Dame.

In Lillard's track, he claims Shaq never would have won a championship in Miami without Dwyane Wade, who now has three titles to his name. TMZ recently caught up with Wade and asked him about some of Lillard's claims. As it turns out, D-Wade isn't rolling with some of Dame's bars.

"No, not at that time," Wade said when asked if he could have won a title without Shaq. "I was young in the league trying to figure it out. I needed somebody like Shaq to help me ... gimme me the keys and let me drive the car. I appreciate him doing that."

The rap beef between Shaq and Dame has many people debating who came through with the better track. Let us know in the comments who you thought won round one and explain why.
