Check out NBA players' pregame playlists for the playoffs
The NBA playoffs are beginning on Saturday and the league is helping you get excited for the second season by releasing a list of players' pregame playlists.
The lists have some of what you would expect, including an enormous amount of Drake and Kendrick Lamar, but also a few surprises, including Meyers Leonard's unconventional pairing of Billy Joel and Drake, and Kosta Koufas mixing in some Mozart.

Another surprise in the playlists is that while the Raptors are heavy on team ambassador and "6 God" Drake, the Wizards do not show any love for their co-worker Wale.
Check out submissions from several NBA playoff stars, including Tony Allen, Damian Lillard, DeMar Derozan and Draymond Green.
