They're playing basketball
 We love that basketball
 They're playing basketball
 We love that basketball
 They're playing basketball
 We love that basketball
 They're playing basketball
 We love that basketball
 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
 Some ball players like the microphone
 Charles Oakley and Charles Barkley like to break bones
 Ron Mercer like to slam dunk straight to the hoop
 Derek Ander' love the alley oop
 Allen Iverson like the pick and roll
 But me myself, I like the give and go

 They're playing basketball
 We love that basketball
 They're playing basketball
 We love that basketball

 Kevin Garnett jump out this world
 Some say Sam Cassell look like Earl The Pearl
 McGrady, Vince Carter are the very best
 But Jason Williams, Ricky Davis don't take no mess
 See basketball has always been my thing
 I like Kobe, Dennis Rodman and the three point kings
 And number 34, the man of the hour
 Shaquille O'Neal got the money and the power

 They're playing basketball
 We love that basketball
 They're playing basketball
 We love that basketball

 Patrick Ewing, Spreewell on the same team
 And Scottie Pippen's rolling with the dream
 Stoudamire meets Mark Berry
 And what about Gary Payton, now that's scary
 Jalen Rose rolling with Reggie Miller
 Malone and Stockton, two thrillers
 Alonzo Mourning, some say he mean
 But Tim Hardaway crossover be green

 *Chorus till end
