PrintJonah Ballow of KnicksNow just posted the second of his "Road Show" videos. This one finds the Knicks describing their preferred methods of passing the time on team flights. It's about what you'd expect: watching movies (basketball players love Harlem Nights), playing games (Bill Walker favors "Mo-no-po-lay"), sleeping (Renaldo Balkman is, unsurprisingly, the chief snoozer), and listening to music. The music guys listen to is mostly pretty popular, familiar stuff in this neck of the woods...except for Josh Harrellson's. After the jump, I'm going to post the video of the song Jorts-- a Missouri native and Kentucky Wildcat-- references in his interview. So, you know, only take that jump if you're ready for what's on the other side.
This is the video for "Dirt Road Anthem" by Jason Aldean. If you're the type of person that doesn't listen to things that don't feature Ludacris (understandable), then there's a version featuring Ludacris as well. Anyway, here's the video. I watched it start to finish because I love Jorts and want to understand what makes him tick, and you're certainly welcome to do the same. Good luck.

I like that Jorts is different
A sense of identity goes a long way in a team culture that clearly doesn’t seem to steer guys to play good basketball
Also, I kinda like this song

can't pull the trigger
but i would certainly appreciate as many people as possible to describe it thoroughly for me.

It's all about being Dirt Road Strong with your friends.
Oh yeah, and he completely promotes drinking and driving multiple times.
Thanks for making us a contender, Donnie.

This describes Jorts so well
It starts off seemingly mellow then surprisingly gets Thugg. and no matter how hard you try not to- u find yourself bobbing your head and singing along.
If anything is possible, then isn't it possible for something to be impossible? SB1954

C'mon mooned a bigger fan of good country than me...
But this kind of corny. The rap is uncomfortable and the shots of him on the road…he looks like he’s waiting for the bathroom at MSG after a few beers. Aldean needs to write and sing “The ballad of Jorts” about being DIRT strong (and slightly clumsy).
Nice job G-Men!!!

I don't quite follow.
And it’s not because I disagree; it’s just that I literally can’t make sense out of the words / sentences here. I think it was probably a funny thought, though, for what it’s worth.

Ha ha I meant "no one" instead of mooned
Damn type ahead. Not meant to be funny. It’s just a corny song. They also let us know it was on his iPod at the game the other night. I feel marketed to.

It's funny the personas they fail at adopting
Maybe I’m reading too much into this.
Melo tries to be a hipster, but then mispronounces the name of a crappy indie band that was big in 2008.
Amare tells us he’s studying (flipping through the pages of a book, to show us he knows how to do it) and watches documentaries.
Jorts picks a country-hip-hop mash-up. I don’t know enough about him, I’m very very intrigued.
Tyson picks Gladiator because his publicist told him to.
Bully and Landry look like guys I’d hang out with.
I’m getting married to my cat.

Haha
Pretty good observations. Amare in particular really likes showing off that thirst for knowledge.
(Though, personally, I’ve only heard a few albums in the past few years that I actually liked, and that MGMT album is one of them, and I think Melo actually got their name right)
You read it MGMT, but you say “Management.” This is a conversation I overheard way too many times.
Amar’e, video of you reading a whole book or it didn’t happen.

I dont know if anybody's publicist would tell them
“Link your image to Russell Crowe; it’s GOLD!” but I also love that movie. Shump picking Remember the Titans actually was gold for me.
I love Amar’e’s quasi-intellectual thing and wish I knew the truth
Well he graduated high school
and he makes $20 mil/year.That’s pretty damned intellectual. no?
New signature coming soon.
Making me Missouri proud.
Yee-haww!
