Former NBA swingman Shane Battier carved out a career as a reliable role player, popularizing the hand-in-the-face style of contesting shots.

It caught the attention of one person enough that he subtly dissed Battier on a song.

Battier caught a stray from rapper J. Cole on "Rise and Shine," a 2011 song that appeared on his No. 1 album "Cole World: The Sideline Story." J. Cole rapped: "Brother you're lame, you're Shane Battier. You out of shape."

The two-time NBA champion and former Duke Blue Devils star reflected on the rhyme during a recent episode of his "Glue Guys" podcast.
