The hosts on ESPN's Highly Questionable might just be in the wrong line of work as they continuously transform into under cover detectives in order to attempt to solve the mystery of which New York Knick the rapper Biggie Smalls allegedly robbed on "I Got A Story To Tell." Hip Hop legend Jadakiss was the latest person to go under interrogation when he recently got a chance to sit down with the Dan Le Batard, Bomani Jones and Gonzalo "Papi" Le Batard,. Highly Questionable soon learned it was no snitching over here after Biggie's friend joked along with the host claiming he did not know because Big wouldn't tell him.

“I still don't know who that player is. Big wouldn’t tell me, I was doing my own investigation, he was saying 6'5. Trying to figure out what Knick was 6'5 back then. He threw you off, though, because he also said 'rained out.' A basketball game can't get rained out. So, Big was trying to mess with you a little bit on there, too."
The Yonkers rapper was also asked if he believed former NBA player John Starks when he claimed he was not the man B.I.G. spoke about in the song. "I don't know, got a chance. It could have been Starks, baby,"said Jada. But he did jokingly provided a couple additional guesses, "Out of my candidates, it would have to be Mason, Larry Johnson, maybe Derek Harper. Could have been any of that team. Those were the crazy Knicks back then."

While in the hot seat, Jada paid his respect to the Notorious B.I.G. He reminisced on the time he knew he had made it in the music industry when he met up with Biggie and he verified his group The LOX.

"Meeting the Notorious B.I.G. and him telling me and my group, 'You guys have what it takes to make it in the industry,'that was the battery in my back that I needed. That was the motivational speech or whatever that got me still going to this day."

The rapper went on in the interview to elaborate on his wild adventures with fellow rapper DMX and even offered Papi hilarious advice as to how to get the groupies off of his back. But as for the answer to what NY Knick Biggie references on his song remains an #UnsolvedHipHopQuestion.
