Carlos Arroyo Launches Singing Career

This basketball offseason has been filled with bad news, what with the lockout threats, Yao Ming's injury, devastating financial losses, Greg Ostertag's continued unemployment. But Carlos Arroyo, former guard for the Orlando Magic, is here to pick you up with a Spanish summertime jam. It's called "Oculto Secreto," which translates to "Hidden Secret," which makes wonder what Carlos is hiding. You can hear the single at Primera Hora's website.

The great thing isn't the singing (which is deep beneath so much autotune an earthworm would have trouble finding it). And it's not that Arroyo wrote the song himself, which is awesome but ... Chris Webber produced two Nas tracks, so, writing a reggaeton song isn't so notable, right? The great thing is that Carlos Arroyo timed his single's release to coincide with the start of the FIBA Americas Championship, which will be held in Puerto Rico this month. When Luis Scola and Al Horford and Eduardo Najera arrive in San Juan later this week, they won't be able to escape "Oculto Secreto!" The definition of a viral release.
