Wilson Chandler = Nas

Matt (@Huff_Melo7):

Both Ill Will and Nas are old school. They are veterans in their respective field, and while they can be quietly intimidating, they are a force to be reckoned with. They can go under the radar at times, but as soon as the monster in them is woken, they remind the world of their ability.

Both Nas and Chandler are very versatile and can adapt their style whenever they need to. Oh, and let us not forget, while it is just a simple correlation, both started in New York, (I understand Nas is still there, however Chandler was a Knick before coming to Denver.)

Nas’ grit and voice when recording his music provides a unique flavor to hip hop, and Wilson Chandler’s style of play on the court mirrors this exact same trait.

Both are gritty, raw, versatile, and a presence not to be messed with because if we’ve learned anything from Jay Z, it’s that when you diss a character like Nas, be prepared for battle because he is most likely going to win and embarrass you.

Of course I’m referencing the song Ether (go listen if you haven’t heard it, and you’ll be impressed).

Therefore, for the rest of the NBA, I’d advise you not to get up in Ill Will’s face and confront him. Chandler, much like Nas, will not back down and most likely put you in your place.
