The Sweet Tea Project were among eight artists who recorded a version of the NBA on ESPN theme, as part of a contest held by ESPN where fans could vote for their favorite.[2] The Sweet Tea Project won the competition, which resulted in their rendition being featured during the network's coverage of the 2013 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.[3]

Origin of band name
In a 2013 interview with ESPN, Roland explained the background of the band's name: "It's a very Southern thing. We wanted to have an Americana flavor. There's nothing more American or Southern than sweet tea. That's what we grew up drinking."[3]
