I have this friend that plays in a pickup basketball league with Win Butler from Arcade Fire. This isn't some country club sh*t either, this is some everyone give your five bucks to Marc-Andre who rented the gym type of deal. My friend isn't a music fan, so while was he telling me about all this, he couldn't remember Win's name. He just kept referring to him as "this musician that goes hard in the post"
This clip is from Win Butler's semi-annual Pop vs. Jock basketball game at the 2012 Pop Montreal Festival. The POP team usually consists of Win alongside his musician friends (Nikolai Fraiture from The Strokes, Justin Vernon from Bon Iver) and ex-ballers like Luke Bonner, Brian Scalabrine, and Matt Bonner, while the opposition are usually players from Montreal's University basketball teams. Here we see the POP team down 3 with 17.6 seconds left in the 4th. Fresh off a timeout, team POP runs an effective inbounding play anchored by Win. I won't spoil the finish but check the fundamentals on this guy as he cuts across the paint, leading with his long-ass arms. On a side note, I think that the political statement homie made during his 2016 celebrity game MVP acceptance speech was great. Too bad they didn't let him finish, I have a feeling he was going to say "Everybody's entitled to free healthcare. That way when I break your nose backing you down in the paint, you won't have to mortgage your mom's house hoe. F**k Kobe, and tell Amber Rose to come holler at me."
