The man dubbed as "Dork Elvis" by ESPN's Bill Simmons lived up to his musically-based moniker on Sunday, as he tweeted out a hip-hop track entitled "3 Kings Rockets Remix" by rappers Bun B and Slim Thug.

As is often the case with most basketball-centric tracks, the lyricism grades out as below average, but there were some insightful bars included in the song. 

First, they poked fun at the Houston Texans, who finished with the worst record in the NFL last season:

It’s playoff time, Houston Texans what’s up?

Then, the two rappers gave a detailed breakdown of Houston's offense:

We got Dwight in the paint, Harden coming down, about to be another win for the H-Town. Jeremy Lin about to clown, TJ grabbing rebounds, if you love him you gonna smile, if you hate him you gonna frown

Slim Thug then took a shot at opponents who have employed the strategy of intentionally fouling Howard:

And watch the cowards try to hack-a-Howard, because one-on-one they gonna get devoured

Finally, Bun B took his turn at doling out disses, and took shots at Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, who did not qualify for this year's playoffs.

We’re going hard like Harden, not Melo, the Rockets are red and yellow
