[Hook]

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

They're playing basketball

We love that basketball

[Verse 1]

(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

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

I used to go to dinner then take the girl

To see Tiny play against Earl The Pearl

And Wilt Big O and Jerry West

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 y'all watch out watch out

In yo' face now here comes the rest)

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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!

[Hook]

[Verse 5]

I get the ball and then I go and play

Like a superstar in the NBA

The forwards the centers and all the guards

The ones you see on the bubblegum cards

Me and homeboy would go one-on-one

Cause playing the game is a lot of fun

Sit by the TV and watch 'em all

Cause Kurtis Blow is rapping basketball
