Origin of the Name: The player who receives the first pass has his back to the basket and makes a blind pass to the cutter; also, “blind pig” is another name for a speakeasy and, according to Phil Jackson’s More Than a Game, “a term jazz musicians in the 1930s and 1940s used for a marijuana cigarette.”

Edit pt2: There, they learned that Jackson wasn’t too familiar with how big the Super Bowl was. At one point Jackson said he didn’t like the name and asked, “Why don’t we rename it the Thriller Bowl?” :lol_2::Hail:

4. “Summertime” (1991)

The circumstances surrounding Jazzy Jeff and Will’s fourth album, Homebase, were something the duo were unaccustomed to. By 1991, they were on a hit television show, meaning they had less time—but also less pressure—to produce hits. “If the album bombed, we would be fine—our rents (and our tax liabilities) were getting paid with Bel-Air money,” Will wrote in his 2021 memoir. Plus, the album felt like an escape from the rigors of Hollywood—more an opportunity for two friends to connect than anything else. They had a newfound freedom with their music, which meant they could get back to having fun. Nowhere was that more apparent than on “Summertime,” the best song of Will Smith’s career and still the gold standard for warm-weather anthems three decades later.

There’s a reason for the persistent (and debunked) rumor that Rakim wrote “Summertime” for Will: The Fresh Prince has never sounded so effortlessly cool, so in command of his craft. Over a flip of Kool & the Gang’s “Summer Madness,” Will channels the God MC’s cadence and baritone, telling tales of cookouts and cruisin’ through the neighborhood in a freshly waxed car. It’s a decidedly low stakes affair, but Will turns it into something universal (even if we have some Philly-specific notes). “Summertime” won the duo their second Grammy and landed atop the Billboard R&B chart. More importantly, however, it endures today as a testament to the freewheeling spirit that came with the summers of yore—a time when there was no pressure and nothing better to do than kick it with your friends. Will and Jazz understood that better than anyone while working on the album that birthed “Summertime”: “It was just me and Jeff being me and Jeff, getting back to what made us great,” Will wrote. “We were getting back to our home base.” —Sayles
