DoorDash has teamed up with Kurtis Blow to remake his 1984 hit "Basketball". The remake features Brooklyn MC Lola Brooke and is produced by Grammy winning producer Hit Boy. The video features Blow and Brooke performing at a neighborhood Basketball court complete with players, cheerleaders, and dancers.

"Basketball" appeared on Blow's 1984' album Ego Trip. The album also featured a guest appearance by Run-DMC on "8 Million Stories", and the hit "AJ Scratch", a dedication to the first generation Hip-Hop DJ of the same name. "Basketball" was also remade by Lil Bow Wow in 2002 for the soundtrack of Like Mike.
