For Sunday’s (October 29) NBA game between the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks, Flavor Flav sang the national anthem.

The Public Enemy rapper may not seem like a natural choice to sing the Star-Spangled Banner. He wrote on social media after his performance that the “anthem was a long-time bucket list item.”

Flav also addressed critics, saying, “I can’t live my life worried about what people might say about me. I won’t let that stop me from trying new things and doing things I wanna do. Some people might not like that. But a sure failure is if you stop trying.”

What bucket list item did you complete or will you complete in 2023?
