This six-minute video on trash-talking features a stunning array of late-80s NBA nostalgia. (via NESW Sports)
Even forgetting everything in the title, MJ’s debonair suspenders and John Spider Sally’s windsuit alone could have carried this thing, not to mention the three or four white dudes who don’t even look athletic enough to be agents for the modern player let alone in a uniform.
As for content, there are few decent jokes/tales of shit-talking lore. We also get a nice preview of Reggie’s future awkward on-camera personality. Plus, there’s a Craig Hodges sighting — something that hasn’t happened in a solid decade. Did he die or something?

Though I do regret the current (and likely ongoing) uninspired run-up to All-Star Weekend currently taking place round these parts, the following video should completely re-instill all confidence surrounding our commitment to excellence.
Here we see what seems to be a British Adam Morrison lookalike discussing Kobe’s inability to play guitar, Shaq O’Neal’s rapping, the Canadian weather, high fives and Kurt Rambis.
At least on the surface.
In the subtext, he’s accomplishing something that can only be described as combining the works of Gandhi and Jesus. It’s easily the best thing I’ve seen in weeks and I’m half-tempted to quit my job to follow this guy around for the rest of my life, learning the sacred ways of humanity.
I believe Zach Harper of Talk Hoops put it best after I told him that I think the hat really ties the whole thing together. “The hat ties my whole life together.”

Reggie’s live from Amway Arena for this new edition of the Mailbag. And he’s telling us who he thinks were the best role players that he played against.
PG – BJ Armstrong: “The Baby-Faced Assassin.”
SG – Michael Cooper: “Coop was one of the best defensive players ever.”
SF – Robert Horry: “Big Shot Bob.”
PF – Kurt Rambis: “You got Dwight Howard talking about he’s Superman. Shaquille O’Neal talking about how he’s Superman. But who was the real Clark Kent?”
C – Bill Laimbeer – “Mr. Bad Boy himself.”
Until next time, boys and girls.
Don’t forget, you can send your questions to Reggie at ReggiesMailbag@turner.com.
