Before all of the Harry Belafonte truthers out there turn on me, it’s not that I dislike the song. It’s that I dislike this chilled out low energy song about bananas being played during crucial moments of a basketball game. Specifically, I dislike this sleepy track being played at The Smoothie King Center when a team with questionable effort needs a boost. If you think players don’t think about these things, you’re wrong. My favorite question to peg on the players every year is “what song plays when you score a basket” and most of them have an enthusiastic answer.
