The video, which was produced by NBA Entertainment, premiered yesterday and was released to fans online.

“YOOOOOO EVERYBODY… AMAZING IS THE OFFICIAL THEME SONG OF THE NBA PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!! THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HELPED MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!” Kanye wrote in signature all caps on his blog. Guess he was pretty pumped!

“Amazing,” which is featured on West’s 2008 release 808s & Heartbreak, sets the mood of the video as past NBA playoffs game moments are spliced together. Look out for b-ball stars Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and others showing off their skills on the court.

The 2009 NBA Playoffs kick off on Saturday with games airing on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, TNT and NBA TV.

And since we know you can’t get enough of the guy, here’s one more piece of juicy Kanye news. In the oddest match-up ever, apparently Kanye has been hanging out with 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto and The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers. Weird.

Kanye posted the photo proof on his blog, along with the following explanation:

“I WAS WORKING ON THIS DOPE ASS SONG WITH JARED AND BRANDON STOPPED BY. I PLAYED THEM SOME OF THE NEW JEEZY BEATS AND BEFORE EVERYBODY BOUNCED BRANDON HOPPED ON THE KEYBOARD AND I HOPPED ON THE MPC. SHIT WAS DOPE. OH AND YES THOSE ARE SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS ON BRANDON’S SHIRT BY DRIES VAN NOTEN.”

Kanye + Jared + Brandon + Swarovski Crystals = best friends forever!
