wastepaper ball

Jimmy Fallon has only been host of “The Tonight Show” for almost two weeks, and he’s gotten the show its highest ratings since Johnny Carson left in 1992. (Do you understand how MAJOR this is?) His biggest audience so far is 10.42 million viewers (that’s watching live plus DVR numbers), and we have to think it’s in part to sketches like these.

In one of his latest, he recreated Kurtis Blow’s, “Basketball,” but as — wait for it — “Wastepaper Basketball.” With a cameo from LeBron James, everything about it is as awesome as it sounds. From VHS quality tape to the 80′s neon graphics, hilarity ensues. Trust us. Watch below.
