Comment:

As important as music is to all sports — from the place of punk in skateboarding and surf videos to the importance of certified jock jams in hockey and football arenas — there's hardly any separation between the two when it comes to basketball. Blast our playlist from a courtside boom box and you'll be floored by how locked in it is with every shot, block, pass, and slam dunk. That goes for the laid-back swing of "Sweet Georgia Brown" (the unmistakable, whistle-led theme of the Harlem Globetrotters); the comedy of Cheech and Chong, Bill Cosby, and Jimmy Fallon; quirky pop (Gorillaz, M.I.A.); and, most importantly, the heartbeat of the game itself — hip-hop — from chart-topping rap stars (the Notorious B.I.G., Chamillionaire, 50 Cent, Jay-Z) to underground favorites as scrappy as a second-string point guard (Jurassic 5, Dan the Automator). Crank it up — this is the sound of your game.
