Justin Timberlake continues to exasperate us by spending his time not recording a new album. His latest distraction? The NBA playoffs. Specifically, JT is taking the time to shoot promos for the basketball league. There he sits, chilling in the back of a limo with Jamie Foxx, swapping playoff picks. (Thanks?) The jock-friendly artists, both clad in monkey suits, then partake in the first (or at least the best) black-tie one-on-one you’ve ever seen (with Jamie and Justin’s collaboration “Winner” playing in the background, to nobody’s surprise). Watch the promo below, and if basketball terminology goes over your heads, just watch it to see two hot dudes in tuxes breaking a sweat.
Now can we get Lady Gaga and Beyoncé to film a promo for the WNBA of them discussing women’s basketball in the Pussy Wagon while “Telephone” plays in the background?
“Talk to them about music, show interest in what they do, and tell them that you like how they play. That’s all musicians really want anyways.”
