Slapping the floor when you play defense
Blocking out, setting picks, and taking charges
Diving into the stands for a piece of rubber and air
Doing what you have to do without care
Because its the small things that count
Dr. James Naismith invented basketball in 1891
And there are approx 10,000 dots on a ball
You take pride in knowing this all
From Lebron, Carmelo, Iverson, McGrady and D-Wade
To Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Bird, Jordan, and Dr. J
From the unknown like McHale, Cousy, the Iceman, and Pete Maravich
To the coaches like Auerbach, Phil Jackson, and Rudy Tomjanavich
And the high school phenoms like Dwight Howard, Stoudemire,and Garnett
These are the role models who shaped your dream
It's the passion of the game..dont you love it?
