Its almost that magical time of year in sports when Spring Training and March Madness rejuvenate all sports fans from the winter torpor of hockey and basketball. Don't get me wrong, I love the Celtics unconditionally and enjoy watching the Bruins, but there is nothing like the limitless hope and promise of spring that accompany spring training and just the sheer volume of exciting upsets and buzzer beaters that March Madness entails. Everyone needs a little kick in the pants as the winter drags on and for sports fans at least, that jolt is almost here. Just keep hanging on and remember that anything is ppooosssiibbbllleee! Here are a few choice tracks of basketball rap, ranging from vaguely legitimate (Shaq) to arrogant (Kobe) and smooth-as-hell (JKidd). All of these tracks are pretty hilarious and listen for the Tyra Banks vocals on the Kobe track and all of Shaqs devestatingly precise rhymes. Besides getting way too many Q's in scrabble, Shaq is a hilarious (and abnormally large) human being and as to be expected Shoot Pass Slam has some absolutely hilarious lyrics.
Kobe Bryant - K.O.B.E (YSI) (filesavr)
Shaquille O'Neal - Shoot, Pass Slam (YSI) (filesavr)
Gary Payton - Livin' Legal and Large (YSI) (filesavr)
Jason Kidd - What the Kidd Did (YSI) (filesavr)
Shaqtastic!

these are good (if also bad). Do you have any more examples?
Yeah actually, there is a CD from 1994 called B-Ball's Best Kept Secret, or something like that, which has other gems by the likes of Dana Barros and Brian Shaw (!).
