Alize Johnson has been such an inspiration to his hometown of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, that a local rapper dropped a song about him.
Rapper Hott Zaaq released "AlizeJohnson 2.0" on his SoundCloud account which verified the former Missouri State star's arrival in the league.
"Ballin' like Alize Johnson, yeah," Hott Zaaq repeats throughout.
The Indiana Pacers rookie forward shared the song across his social media platforms days after signing his NBA contract.
The song also makes references to the "570" which is the Williamsport area code and includes shoutouts to Missouri State and the Pacers.
The beginning and end of the song include samples from Williamsport news stations talking about Johnson's rise to the NBA.
