After Kyrie Irving won NBA rookie of the year with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he played a round of pick-up basketball with a group of amateurs. Watch as he dresses like an old man to disguise his identity and embarrass his opponents.

I like the Kevin Love one too (of "Gunnin for that #1 Spot"). I personally think they were inspired by Ricky's theme for this, but hard to prove.
Props to you for referencing basketball on this board, something the bboys and especially Yauch hold near and dear.

Funny video, but pretty old. Not to be the Debbie Downer but obviously a staged thing with actors. Look at the Pepsi product placement.

Yeah, I know. I just saw this doing the rounds on Facebook and people were commenting on what a funny idea it was. I thought, wait a minute, I think the Beastie Boys did this like 20 years ago.

Indeed they did. Just didn't see Yauch toss it off the board and dunk it!!!
