There are over 60 games left in the 2012-13 NBA season, so right now is the perfect time to start recording anthems about how your team is unstoppable. Iman Shumpert knows the value of a good anthem, and if anything gets the Knicks to the finals this year, it’ll be lines like, “Knicks Knicks Knicks Knicks Knicks Knicks Knicks Knicks Knicks Knicks Knicks.”
Via Cosby:
If you weren’t aware, Iman Shumpert is an aspiring rapper who also happens to be a promising young talent for the New York Knicks. The 6′ 5″ point guard from Georgia Tech has apparently been spending his time in the studio while out with a knee injury. For his latest ‘banger’ Shumpert remixes “Clique” off of G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summer album, turning it into the “Knicks Anthem.”
I think my favorite part is when he says Knicks.
I’m not a basketball star OR an aspiring rapper, but I’m occasionally inspired to greatness by these sports guys, so I put together a remix of my own. Hopefully this will be the new NEW Knicks anthem, and I hope you like it:
Swaggy.

Uh, do I need to remind anyone of the classic “Go New York, Go New York, Go”?
(It took several minutes for me to suppress the asshole New Yorker inside of me to post a constructive comment)
Any particular version you prefer?
Is this by chance played to the same beat as Vanilla Ice’s song “Go Ninja Go”?
Funny, after the ‘Melo trade last year MSG would have had you believe the Knicks theme was “Coming Home” by Diddy Dirty Money.
I would still take this over the Lordz of Brooklyn’s cover of NY Groove that was foisted on the Knicks & Rangers a few years ago. A very frustrating youtube search A.) only yielded poor quality live videos of that song & B.) showed me that the Lordz of Brooklyn were way worse than I remembered.
Needs more Scott Stapp.
