The biggest correlation music has with basketball is in dribbling
I was watching basketball tape of myself, high af :biggums: on some good tree rn
And I realized... I was like, wtf are those dribble sounds so.. specific?
And I focused on just the dribble pattern, and I realized I was lowkey making the dribble sounds of Common's "Be" Intro
https://youtu.be/P7RZ_f3d_nE
.. Like I was subconsciously dribbling out that beat pattern, and because I was listening to that album so much at the time... My entire sense of RHYTHMIC timing and understanding of FLOW gave me an internal subconscious sense of understanding to dribble a basketball in a way that reflected THAT sense of timing since my natural sense of rhythm became that style of music since I was into that at the time...
So.. notice how people dribble the ball much differently as we move into different eras of music..
Honestly, to me even MJ and Isiah Thomas style of dribbling the ball represented the rumble tumble style of 80s music, Iverson and Kobe's dribble style represented a timing that was very bouncy bling bling sense of timing... Irving and Curry literally reflect a very technically perfect style of dribbling with a sense of time and rhythm that feel artificial.. As seen with today's music as well...
The music you listen, can literally create the number of dribbles you decide to take and at what rate.
