Basketball (Re-Recorded) - Kurtis Blow

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

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

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

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

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 chalk up two

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

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

I get the ball and then I go and play

Like the superstars in the NBA

The forwards the centers and all the guards

The ones you see on the bubblegum cards

Me and home boy would go one on one

'Cause playin' the game is a lot of fun

Sit by the TV and watch 'em all

'Cause Kurtis Blow is rappin' basketball

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball
