I know you are feeling lonely without the NBA.  Whether you love the Kings, Warriors or some other team we are all missing the sweets sound of screeching soles in the key of a basketball court, sigh.  Let’s not get too depressed, and celebrate with some of the songs that celebrate b-ball with a list compiled by our friends at Billboard.com.
