7 of the Worst Basketball Related Songs I Care to Remember!
August 27, 2008 – Dr. J-Water
We all have them, you have to admit….there are those songs or albums in your collection that seemed pretty cool at the time you bought them, that you look back on 2, 5, or 10 years later and laugh that you once bobbed your head or tapped your foot to the beat. I personally have hundreds if not thousands of them. I’m the type of O.C.D. case that generally listens to a new song that I take a liking to, until its absolutely dead to me. To the point where I want to scream if I hear it, because i’m so annoyed or repulsed by it. Tonight when thinking about the phenomena of being blinded in the moment by how ridiculous a song really is until its far too late, I couldn’t help but think of a few basketball related songs that fell into this category. Below are a few of the worst basketball related songs that at one point we all are embarrassed to admit we did the head bobbing thing to….
Skee-Lo – I Wish
Kurtis Blow – Basketball
Shaquille O’Neal – Shoot Pass Slam
Michael Jackson – Jam
Coolio, Method Man, LL Cool J – Hit em’ High (Monstars Anthem)
Lil’ Bow Wow ft. J.D. – Basketball
69 Boyz – Hoop in Yo Face
What are your worst hoop songs from the past?

I loved “I Wish” back in the day. I got to go queue that up on my ipod now.
…i wish i had a girl who looked good i would call her…
poetry in motion right there.
Hey J-Water – I gotta admit that I was “head bobbing” to Shoot Pass Slam back in the day. That album was never as bad as the flack he got for it. Infact didn’t it go like triple platinum or something?
i can’t believe “i wish” is on this list. that song is a classic
What bout ‘basketball jones’?
Maybe I’m a bit older, but Basketball by Kurtis Blow was a jam back in the day.
I have no problem with people creating lists. But your lack of in-depth explanation for your choices is puzzling at best. Kurtis Blow’s basketball is a classic cut. How can you hate on that? And you didn’t even bother to search to find the actual video.

Shame on you.
@swza
You are right, Kurtis Blow is a classic cut. But so were short shorts, and tight jeans at one time. That is the point of the list!
And I have no idea who you are, or what your level of technical expertise is, but even in the link you provided in your comments, there is a “no embed request” essentially meaning you cannot embed into the post.
I searched hard for the full video that I could embed. Wasn’t possible. Let me know when you find one that doesn’t have a disabled embed feature on youtube!
I guess it’s “Shame on YOU”…..
Dissin’ Kurtis Blow just isn’t right. Since you’re so quick to call it one of the worst basketball songs, what songs, in your opinion, are some of the best?
