Stephen Colbert's Hiphopketball: A Jazzebration

The popular news pundit broke new ground in 1995 when he released his smash hit documentry "Stephen Colbert's Hiphopketball: A Jazzebration". The documentry explored the many ways jazz and hiphop have influenced Basketball. The documentry was released to rave reviews Rodger Ebert was quoted as saying: "This is the most moving documentry I have ever witnessed. It has changed my life forever".

Comparisons to Micheal Moore and Al Gore
Colbert isn't a liberal scare monger who releases fiction and calls it a documentry. Hiphopketball is an "(h)onest documentry an American original".

Stephen Colbert's Hiphopketball: A Jazzebration on the Colbert Report
On January 9th 2006, Stephen showed a clip of Hiphopketball on the Colbert Report in which Stephen unleashed some mad beats:

"I'm wide open so pass the ball my way / And I'll dribble that shit right up the parquet / Nothing but net as I show you how I flow / Swish motherfucker now listen to me blow"

This clip introduced Hiphopketball to a new generation and subsequently boosted DVD sales substantially.

Feud with Karrem Abdul-Jabar
There was concern that Karrem Abdul-Jabar was making a documentry that simply stole Colbert's idea. Stephen expressed his concern for this on the January 9th, 2006 tip of the hat/wag of the finger (which is why the above clip was shown). It would later be proven that Abdul-Jabar was not simply stealing Stephen's idea after he saw Kareem's movie "On the Shoulders of Giants". The two would later reconsile and appear together in Stephen Colbert's Hiphopketball 2: The Rejazzebration Remix '06".
