As one of the most influential hip-hop groups of the ’90s, A Tribe Called Quest is no stranger to basketball. In fact, one of the group’s founding members, the late Phife Dawg, was a big fan of the New York Knicks, and he immortalized former Knicks shooting guard John Starks in the song “8 Million Stories” from their 1993 album Midnight Marauders.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the group’s formation, A Tribe Called Quest partnered with the NBA for a new collection with sports apparel brand HOMAGE. Right now, the collection is 20% off list prices for a limited time.

The new NBA collection mashes up iconic lyrics from A Tribe Called Quest songs, like “We on Award Tour,” “I’m Above the Rim” and “Represent, Represent,” with NBA teams, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, L.A. Lakers, Houston Rockets and much more.

There’s even new tees and hoodies showcasing Phife Dawg’s favorite NBA team, the New York Knicks.

As part of the collaboration, New York Times best-selling author Hanif Abdurraqib compares why A Tribe Called Quest and basketball go hand-in-hand.

“I came to the music of A Tribe Called Quest as a young guy, a short guy who played basketball — streetball — on the East Side of Columbus, Ohio,” says Abdurraqib. “What I loved about A Tribe Called Quest is the same thing I loved about what pushed me to thrive on the basketball court. You have to be inventive. You have to be innovative. You have to see a hundred different things inside of one thing. For me, there’s not just one move. There’s a movement that opens up several other movements.”
