Video: Jimmy Butler Dancing to Taylor Swift

Not sure why this song is so popular with NBA guys, but this marks the second time that you see an NBA player grooving to some "22" by Taylor Swift while basically shirtless.  I mean the coincidence of this occurring is pretty alarming to me because for one, I never considered "22" to be one of Swift's better songs, and also because the stereotype of NBA players being all about the hip hop music is now overwritten by the image of Swift's voice playing in the background while Jimmy B snaps his fingers and twirls his forearms.

Video: Kanye West Laments About Michael Jordan's Time As A Wizard

Some NSFW auto-tuned words and lots of ridiculous claims by Kanye West about how deserving MJ was to be a part owner of the Chicago Bulls.

I guess since the Bobcats are doing better this year, Kanye is forgetting about all the dummy moves his Airness has made as part-owner of both the Wizards and the Bobcats.  Or maybe he's not much of a Bulls fan and hasn't considered that with Jordan at the helm, the Bulls very well could have picked Michael Beasley instead of Derrick Rose as the first overall pick in the 2008 Draft.

Gotta give Mr. West his dues for this little ditty though. I'm probably going to spend the day confusing my fiance by singing the hook over and over again. ("Why do you keep singing about 'Michael the Wizard'").

Good job covering all the necessities for a music video:

Cameos from famous people - check check check check

Still not sure that I would watch this movie (which is half the point of a trailer), but I thoroughly enjoyed this particular trailer.  Happy Friday, all!

Video: "You Can't Stop Thabeet" - A Hasheem Thabeet Highlight Reel

So last year i posted an Andre Drummond x Coldplay highlight video and commented that i thought it was pretty powerful stuff.

Thanks to the fellas over on reddit now i know highlights of an nba big man also go pretty well with musicals, namely Hairspray.  The highlights in the vid are from last year as 'Sheem hasn't played much this season.  Things might change if coach Scott Brooks gets a hold of this clip.  Or maybe they won't, but I think he'll at least start tapping his feet to thabeet (hehehe).

Bless your heart, youtube user SahDu.  This is your only uploaded video, but i've watched/listened to this all friday morning.

Video: "I Believe in Masai", A R.Kelly Parody

I'm a bit late on this one, but thanks to the Trey Kerby, I just saw this song dedicated to the Toronto Raptor's GM, Masai Ujiri.  As you can tell from watching the video, the folks north of the border are pretty fond of what the Raptor's GM is doing for the team.




In clearing a whole lot of cap space with the most recent trade of Rudy Gay and friends to the Kings, Ujiri is setting the Raptors up to have a chance of snagging one of the those superstar free agents available the summer of 2014.

 If the Raps keep losing this season like they have done the last 5 years, they'll probably have a good chance of drafting one of those NBA-ready 19-year olds currently playing ball for Duke, Kansas, or Kentucky.  Also, if things go as Masai has them planned, I'm sure we'll get more of these remixes of 90's classics dedicated to him.
