Here are the lyrics:


He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Diamond nights and ruby lights high in the sky
Heaven help him when he falls

Diamond life, lover boy
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start

No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale

Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold

No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

Gervin probably though the tik tok generation wouldn’t watch it with that combo of athlete and music.

Giannis

[1987_Lakers]

Kareem on his sky hooks, song changes to heavy metal when he punches Kent Benson.

[ArbitraryWater]

Giannis, Luka

I once used this to make a 7 minute video that never got to the internet because at the time YouTube was blocking the song and I refused to change it:

I had the music all synced to the clips and all and didn’t wanna start over. Based on the song who do you assume the video was about?

Here are the lyrics:

Oh it has to be LeSmooth. Period. Full stop.

Runner up among active players could be Kawhi, except I guess he’d have to actually play to be considered an active player.

Here are the lyrics:

Kyrie Irving.

[Akeem34TheDream]

SGA

[Im so nba'd out]

SGA

This and it’s not close. It has to be Someone who scores effortlessly. But in like a rhythmic way.. I can’t explain it but it’s just song ment for a shai highlight

I got one


Someone come up with the player I’m thinking of for this instrumental


https://youtu.be/Utu1VQjbTXI?si=0SzaektDoedJNg_i

Current player.. I think it’s obvious but maybe it ain’t? His highlights fit with a beat like this lol

Someone who can control the tempo. Who controls the game. Brunson? CP3? Maybe even J.Butler?

that beat makes me think of a skilled dribbler doing crosses and being speedy, thats what it fits to imo. So Kyrie maybe. Brunson works also.

[tpols]

That dance rick rude does is hilarious. :lol

For me the answer is Lou Williams. His game was buttery smooth. And he's got the Playa credentials.

[Im so nba'd out]

Hell no :oldlol: it’s Westbrook. Erratic beat for a Out of control player. Sounds like someone just slamming their hands on random keys on a piano over and over again. Rage….screaming and mean mugging after every play. yup this is for rus :oldlol:

[Im Still Ballin]

Going to have to give Kblaze the win here. I initially thought Dr. J or George Gervin. Iceman's game is smooth, his personality is laid back, and he played in the '70s and '80s. Although SGA, Kyrie, and Paul George have smooth games, the song is too dated for them.

His game is very fluid but involves too much herky-jerky movement and odd counters to be described as smooth. Not to mention he's one of the strangest-looking players ever.

But if it's all slow motion as you suggested it could work.

I went with Stevie Ray

leaning on the torture chamber aspect, which I’m sure nobody even got or cared about.

How about Grant Hill?

Good choice. Something like Dire Straits or Bruce Springsteen would've worked well also. I remember reading McHale and Barkley went to a Springsteen concert back in the day.

Dire straits was used for Steve Nash after the initial Pimp c pump fake that annoyed people
