While its not in the youtube radio edit of the song there is a spoken dialogue bridge in which kurtis and some guys discuss just who is the best basketball. "Yeah Wilt had them points, but russell got them riiiiiiiings!" 3. Its just so wholesome; to think such a vulgar art form came from a point where it was just a guy singing about how much he loves basketball. 4. the pill. the pill. THE PILL. 5. You can take the chorus and change it to just about anything people are playing. "They playing TEC-MO BOOOOOOOOWL! They love that TEC. MO. BOOOOOOOOOWL.!" this song has fascinated me going on 10 years now.
