Sports Crackle Pop has created a playlist of Michael Jackson songs to coincide with the 2009 NBA Draft results. Here are some highlights:

Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough: The Minnesota Timberwolves had six picks in this years draft. Apparently, new GM David Kahn decided they needed some help at the point. And then some more. and then some more. and then some more. Yes, the T’Wolves drafted four point guards (though they did deal Ty Lawson to Denver.)

The Way You Make Me Feel: Were Jordan Hill’s feelings hurt? The Garden faithful, obviously crushed by seeing dream guard Stephen Curry taken at #7, booed lustily when the Knicks selected the Arizona Forward at #8. He seemed to take it ok, and sounds genuinely excited to be playing in Mike D’antoni’s system.

Gone Too Soon: In my humble opinion, both Tyler Hansbrough and Austin Daye were drafted too early. Hansbrough is like a less athletic version of Troy Murphy without the jump shot. As for Daye? He would have been a fine pick in the late 20’s, but not at 15.

We Are The World: Five international players went in the first round, not counting Hasheem Thabeet, who is from Africa, or Brandon Jennings, who spent the last year in Italy. The global flair was even more prominent in the 2nd round, with 7 more international guys drafted.

Black or White: Blake and Taylor Griffin. Seriously, I’m asking. Are they black or white?
