Adam Yauch is unwinding from all his hard work on the Beastie Boys's new album by taking in some basketball. He was spotted at the Knicks-Cavaliers game at Madison Square Garden earlier this week, as well as the Knicks-Trail Blazers game a few weeks ago. At the latter game, Yauch found a minute to talk with Jill Martin (see video below).
Video Transcription
Jill Martin: It’s time for “Give Me a Minute,” and look who we have here: MCA of the Beastie Boys. And I know you have a lot of Garden stories. What’s one that stands out?
Yauch: Ah, well we played here with Run-DMC. And one time we gave out 50 cameras to the audience and shot a film here.
Jill: That dvd. And actually, Run-DMC’s here tonight.
Yauch: Yeah, Run’s over there. I see Run.
Jill: I was going to ask you. I know you play a lot of pickup basketball. [Who’s] another rapper that doesn’t stand a chance against you on the court?
Yauch: That doesn’t stand a chance? I don’t know, I don’t know. I haven’t played against too many. I’d like to play with Run. I’ll probably take care of him. I don’t know.
Jill: I know you recently released a documentary—a basketball documentary. Tell us about that.
Yauch: Yeah, it was about high school players. But we shot it in 2006, so a bunch of those players are in the NBA now. Jerryd Bayless from the Trail Blazers was one of the players we covered. Kevin Love, Michael Beasley. So a bunch of first-round draft picks.
[Run walks into frame]
Yauch: Hey, what’s up bro! [Yauch and Run embrace.]
Jill: Hey, look! A reunion here! And it’s pretty cool…
Run: [gesturing at Yauch] I know this guy!
Jill: I know. They’re recording an album coming out new—coming out next year.
Run: I love the Beastie Boys! We toured our whole life. I used to sleep on their bus. They let me sleep on their bus. Remember that?
Yauch: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jill: Here’s the big question. He said that he could beat you on the basketball court.
Run: I don’t know, I don’t know.
Yauch: Let’s go right now.
Run: He has an unorthodox game. I wouldn’t doubt it.

Cool clip! I wonder what kind of unorthodox game he plays.

You have to suffer through an Applebee's commercial before you can see the video.
MCA looks so happy :)
Nice reunion. It put a smile on my face.
