Common's journey from Bulls ball boy to NBA theme song composer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Common has teamed up with collaborators to compose "Victory," the official theme for NBA on Prime. The streaming platform made the announcement Thursday. The song will be part of Amazon’s first exclusive NBA season. Common, along with Karriem Riggins and James Poyser, created three versions of the score, including orchestral, hip-hop, and rock. The theme will debut on October 24 during Prime Video’s opening-night doubleheader. Common, a former Chicago Bulls ball boy, sees this as a dream fulfilled. The collaborators hope "Victory" resonates for generations and inspires more artists of color in sports scoring.
