Erik Spoelstra showed off his vocal talents with his rendition of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," but was the performance a thriller?

MANILA, Philippines – The Miami Heat may no longer have LeBron James – or a winning record – but that isn’t stopping coach Erik Spoelstra from singing his heart out.

The 44-year-old Filipino-American coach showed off his vocal talents at retired NBA player Shane Battier’s annual charity karaoke event titled Battioke, performing the Michael Jackson classic “Billie Jean” alongside girlfriend Nikki Sapp.

Spoelstra’s performance was…a bit lacking at times, though his dance moves made up for his limited vocal range. And hey, at least he can say that he did better than Heat president Pat Riley, who performed “Twist and Shout.”

With the Miami Heat just a half game ahead of Brooklyn and Charlotte for the seventh seed in the East, and a game ahead of Indiana, perhaps a four-way karaoke battle could clear up the playoff picture come April. – Rappler.com
