You know what's weird? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hawking the Smashing Pumpkins' new album, 'Oceania.'

But hey, it's 2011 and much crazier things have happened, especially when it comes to Billy Corgan and company. While admitting in a YouTube video that he's never smashed a pumpkin and doesn't even like pumpkin pie, Corgan says the only person that he'd like to be associated with the act of smashing the squash is basketball legend -- and recent Bonnaroo attendee -- Kareem. And there you have it -- that's why the video below exists (thanks to Consequence of Sound).
