What are some great basketball songs?

[TheAnchorman]

It can fall into one of two categories:

1. A song that is about basketball, relates to basketball or makes many basketball/NBA references (can be any genre)

2. Songs that get you pumped up or ready for playing or watching ball.

Yes, I already konw the NBA on NBC theme. Anything else? Cuz I'd like to listen to some.

Forever- Drake
Hate- Jay Z
Heart Ache- J.Cole

Any fast paced rap song that isn't about rape/drugs/murder usually gets me pumped.

Basketball Lyrics by Kurtis Blow

Chours:
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball
They're playing Basketball
We love that Basketball

(Now rapping Basketball Number 1 Kurtis Blow)
Basketball is my favorite sport
I like the way they dribble up and down the court
Just like I'm the King on the microphone so is Dr. J and Moses Malone
I like Slam dunks take me to the hoop
My favorite play is the alley oop
I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go,
Cause it's Basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow,

Chours

I used to go to dinner, and then take the girl,
To see Tiny play against Earl The Pearl,
And Wilt, Big O, and Jerry West,
To play Basketball at it's very best,
Basketball has always been my thing,
I like Magic, Bird, and Bernard King,
And number 33, my man Kareem,
Is the center on my starting team,

(To the hoop, ya'll, Watch out, Watch out
In yo' face, now here comes the rest)

Clyde, Rick Barry, and Pistol Pete,
Now these players, could never be beat,
Isiah, and Iceman too,
Just give 'em the ball, and then you talk up too,
Dantley and Wilkins are on the scene,
And Ralph Sampson is really mean,
Bill Russell didn't take no junk,
and Darryl Dawkins got a monster dunk,
Tell me, were you in the joint?,
The night Wilt scored 100 points,
Or when Celtics won titles back-to-back,
And didn't give nobody, no kind of slack,
Or when Dr. J shook the whole damn team,
With moves that came right out of a dream,
Or when, Willis Reed stood so tall,
Playing D with desire, it's Basketball,

Chorus

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Heart of a Champion by Nelly.

No just kidding, that song is gay. Any song that has the name of the singer in the lyrics is gay. Also, any song that involves spelling out any word is gay.
