When I do production, I dont have no process.

I go in there with the word, energy, and I just do it.

I go by feeling.

I dont really go by explanation of words.

The track, with a catchy chorus, sounds tailor-made for tip-off.

As for when the Playoffs begin, Timbaland isnt pulling for any specific team.

Everybody should be a champion and play at their best level, he adds.

The NBA Playoffs begin April 16 and air on ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV.
