As the Atlanta Hawks prepare for the first round of the playoffs against the Brooklyn Nets and try to put an exclamation point on their already-stellar season, of course there is going to be music involved.
Billboard is polling members of many of the playoff teams to find out who, besides DrakeDrakeDrakeDrakeDrakeDrakeDrake, they’re listening to when practicing free throws.
And yes, Drake is on nearly everyone’s playlist – or, at least the six players polled from the East-dominating Hawks and the West-leading Golden State Warriors (although there is a nice shout-out from Justin Holiday for Atlanta’s Lecrae).
You’ve gotta love that Jeff Teague is cranking up some Paramore in his headphones, while Kent Bazemore made room for Kanye with Paul McCartney.
But what is my basketball crush, Kyle Korver, listening to while getting in the groove?
( Check out Billboard's lists from members of the Wizards, Grizzlies, Raptors and Trail Blazers.)
