(Sekarang rapikan Bola Basket Nomor 1 Kurtis Blow)
Basketball is my favorite sport

I like the way they dribble up and down the court
Saya suka cara mereka menggiring bola ke atas dan ke bawah pengadilan
Just like I'm the King on the microphone so is Dr. J and Moses Malone
Sama seperti aku sang Raja di mikrofon begitu juga Dr. J dan Moses Malone
I like Slam dunks take me to the hoop
Saya suka Slam dunks membawa saya ke lingkaran
My favorite play is the alley oop
Permainan favorit saya adalah gang oop
I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go,
Saya suka pick-and-roll, saya suka memberi-dan-pergi,
Cause it's Basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow,
Karena itu Basketball, eh, Mister Kurtis Blow,

With moves that came right out of a dream,

Or when, Willis Reed stood so tall,

Playing D with desire, it's Basketball,
