Macklemore explained the subject of the single as follows:
Music video
The music video, directed by Zia Mohajerjasbi, alludes to an autobiographical story line. It depicts its main character (Macklemore) and his experiences as a young boy infatuated with basketball and basketball paraphernalia, athletic shoes in particular, and what adverse effect it had on him as he grew up.
The music video starts with Macklemore now a grown-up man, going into an empty basketball court, where the indications are, that he apparently used to practice basketball himself. Macklemore raps while he reminisces himself as a small kid wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey number 23 (clearly alluding to NBA player Michael Jordan) and wearing, in a close-up, Nike sneakers that would "make him fly" (another reference to Nike Air Jordan sneakers). He describes "touching the net" as being the "best day of my life" (also a simile of a Jordan typical Nike ad), boasting about his skills to his mother and friends... until that is "my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his fours, whoa", a reference to the basketball shoes he was wearing. This incident becomes a wake-up call to young Macklemore.
A rugby league football team consists of thirteen players on the field, with four substitutes on the bench. Players are divided into two general categories, forwards and backs.
Forwards are generally chosen for their size and strength. They are expected to run with the ball, to attack, and to make tackles. Forwards are required to improve the team's field position thus creating space and time for the backs. Backs are usually smaller and faster, though a big, fast player can be of advantage in the backs. Their roles require speed and ball-playing skills, rather than just strength, to take advantage of the field position gained by the forwards.
Names and numbering
The laws of the game recognise standardised numbering of positions. The starting side normally wear the numbers corresponding to their positions, only changing in the case of substitutions and position shifts during the game. In some competitions, such as Super League, players receive a squad number to use all season, no matter what positions they play in.
A spoiler is an automotive aerodynamic device whose intended design function is to 'spoil' unfavorable air movement across a body of a vehicle in motion, usually described as turbulence or drag. Spoilers on the front of a vehicle are often called air dams. Spoilers are often fitted to race and high-performance sports cars, although they have become common on passenger vehicles as well. Some spoilers are added to cars primarily for styling purposes and have either little aerodynamic benefit or even make the aerodynamics worse.
The term "spoiler" is often mistakenly used interchangeably with "wing". An automotive wing is a device whose intended design is to generate downforce as air passes around it, not simply disrupt existing airflow patterns. As such, rather than decreasing drag, automotive wings actually increase drag.
Operation
Since spoiler is a term describing an application, the operation of a spoiler varies depending on the particular effect it's trying to spoil. Most common spoiler functions include disrupting some type of airflow passing over and around a moving vehicle. A common spoiler diffuses air by increasing amounts of turbulence flowing over the shape, "spoiling" the laminar flow and providing a cushion for the laminar boundary layer. However, other types of airflow may require the spoiler to operate differently and take on vastly different physical characteristics.

THE 2013 LTFF GOLDEN WINGS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
SALUTES A TRUE CINEMATIC HERO
There has never been any shortage of leading men in Turkish cinema. Never has been, never
will be. Heartthrobs, historic action heroes, social fighters, downtrodden migrants and folkish suburban lower class funny men make up a vast gallery of cinematic idols that have never failed to produce box office gold. Supposedly, the Golden Age has faded away and new faces now quickly come and go, created more by the paparazzi than by themselves. Yet, if you search for a name synonymous with the best of Turkish cinema, still at the top of the list there will be the name of one actor whose roles over the years have captured so many aspects of national cultural identity: Kadir İnanır, the Anatolian. Ordu, Fatsa born İnanır made the best of being born as the youngest son of a big family. After his early schooling at local schools his playfulness found a niche in drama productions as a boarding student in Haydarpaşa Lycee in İstanbul. His determination to be in entertainment business is also reflected in his choice for education in the Radio Television Department of Marmara University. Like many of predecessors, wining a talent search for a magazine led to more than 180 feature films, 7 TV drama series, national awards and a hand in directing two films that spanned a prestigious life in Turkish cinema, where he is still active. LTFF viewers can witness in one of his most successful films 'Katırcılar' a text book characterizations. For his fans, his devotion to the well remembered and cherished story telling style of traditional cinema, his longevity as a leading man is no secret even in his mostoutrageous and campy characterizations. The reluctant art media fails to admit his reserved acting, his secluded life from the limelight of daily media and TV shows. A pair of Golden Wings is the least this festival can do, to right this injustice for a true cinematic hero. (Ercument Akman)

GERÇEK BİR SİNEMA KAHRAMANINI SELAMLIYOR
Türk sinemasının geçmişte olduğu kadar gelecekte de başrol oyuncuları eksik olmayacaktır. Her ne kadar sinemanın altın yıllarının geride kaldığı söylense de yeni yüzlerin magazin olaylarıyla bir günde gelip bir günde gittiği bilinse bile, gönül yakan yakışıklılar, tarihi kahramanlar, sosyal adelet savunucuları, zorluk içinde iç göçmenler, kenar mahalle komikleri başarılı gişeleriyle her zaman bu sinemanın yıldızlar galerisini doldurmuşlardır. Ancak bu ulusal sinemayı en iyi tanımlayan tek bir yüz aranırsa, sadece geniş filmografisi ile değil, yıllar boyu sayısız kültürel karakterleri çeşitlemelerle geliştirerek sürdüren tek bir isim öne çıkacaktır, Kadir İnanır, Anadolu delikanlısı. Ordu, Fatsa doğumlu İnanır, ailenin en genç ferdi olmanın şansını ilk ve orta öğretimini yerel okullarda tamamladıktan sonra yatılı olarak gittiği İstanbul Haydarpaşa Lisesi tiyatro yapımlarında kullandı. Bu alandaki çalışma isteği onu Marmara Üniversitesi Radyo ve Televizyon bölümüne yöneltti. Kendinden önce pek çoklarına da olduğu gibi bir derginin yarışmasıyla başlayan sinema yaşantısında 180'i aşkın film, 7 televizyon dizisi, ulusal ödüller ve yönettiği iki filmle "Türk Sineması"nda belirgin bir yere yerleşti. LTFF izleyicileri festivalde Türk Sineması'nın etkileyici filmlerinden biri olan "Katırcılar"ı izlerken İnanır'ın ders alınacak bir oyunculuk sergilediğini görecekler. Sevenleri onun Türk Sinemasının en sevilen ve özlenen anlatım yöntemlerini, en inanılmaz ve klişe karakterlerin bile üstesinden nasıl geldiğini, bu zaman diliminde nasıl hala kalıcı olabildiğini anlıyorlar. Onu görmemekte direnen bir sanat medyası, onun bu ustalıklı oyunculuğunu, günlük sokak haberleri ve televizyon şovlarından uzak yaşadığı hayatını kabullenmekte ısrar ededursunlar, bu festivalin takacağı iki altın kanat bu yanlışı sinemanın bu gerçek kahramanı adına düzeltmeyi amaçlıyor.
