Dirk Nowitzki, Monta Ellis and Chandler Parsons Channel Run DMC for Mavs Video

Dirk Nowitzki has a long, distinguished history of saying things that resemble lyrics into microphones.

He’s covered everything from Christmas jams to Rolling Stones hits, and his latest Billboard No. 1 single is a collaboration project with teammates Monta Ellis and Chandler Parsons.

The Dallas Mavericks released a video of their Big Three forming like Voltron to rap “Can’t Be Stopped” in the guise of hip-hop group Run-DMC.

Gold chains are worn. B-boy stances are assumed. This track bangs.

Parsons even manages to cork off a few hollow points at his old franchise.

“Me CP in the place to be…left Houston so easily.”

Wordplay aside, can you have “too much Monta?” I submit you cannot.

As for the Mavericks, they’re off to a hot start. They nearly got tricky in their season opener in San Antonio, and they easily rocked around the Utah Jazz on Thursday night.

D-Town—er, Dallas—takes on the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday. All serving and/or scoring will presumably be done on a first-come, first-serve basis.
