There are songs being blared over the PA system and there are are cheerleaders and other spirits groups.
Still, things get through and professional athletes acknowledge trash talking from fans or other things. For instance, Los Angeles Clippers star DeAndre Jordan was caught off guard and found himself getting distracted during an interview.
He had a big game against the Boston Celtics, scoring 19 points on 8-of-9 shooting and grabbing 12 rebounds, but his focus seemed to be off after the game.
While being interviewed after the game, he seemed to space out and forgot what question was being asked. Then he acknowledged it and admitted he got caught up listening to Tupac.

“I was listening to Tupac and forgot the question,” Jordan admitted.
