[Jamezo001]

What can these shoes do for king, well he can do just about anything, except for winning a ring

[wweyahden]

Notice Kevin McHale and Larry bird got da same shoe

[bonzie1645]

converse the number one weapon in the nba... too bad not anymore...

[TalkTimeWithNed]

I bet they aren't wearing pants.

[HymanKaplan]

Bird and Magic were listed same height, clealy Bird is closer to 6'10 and Magic to 6'8..

[foodiedave]

Kevin McHale spits hot fire!

[Galactic123]

Was Magic gettin blown by Isiah at the start of this video or what...

[himejosh13]

What was Isiah doing at 0:03... the kiss was one thing but this....WHY?

[zarenj21]

Damn so many people hatin on Bird ahaha. Its just a commercial, chill out guys.

[jontejay24]

Tried to wear a pair through the airport. TSA cracked ma ribs.

[hamzaahmed16]

every1 in the NBA use to wear converse until Jordan came around!

[tridentlayers2337]

Amazing how McHale was the only one on the beat.

[Petawawa8]

Magic and Isiah. Both incredible point guards, both terrible rappers. McHale, King and Aguirre weren't bad tho. But Bird... he might ball like a black man, but his rapping is so white it gave everyone in that room a tan.

[LukeRygh1221]

@Petawawa8 he doesn't "ball" like a black man at all... he can't jump, he wasn't that quick. He plays like larry bird

[PowerCoefficient]

I like how Bird ruins the rap by being extra-white.

[RicardoRiveraDroid]

Jordan

[MyKareem33]

My favorite player of this commercial and favorite player of all time is Magic. I am shortsighted so when i play ball i take off my glasses and every pass is a no look pass, and finish in the 3rd row;

[theunknown1994ify]

they were the 1st basketball shoes

[PresidentILS]

@TheMrMovies I bleed green and white

[Nadalmesohorny]

[sonicfan10able]

Isiah Thomas screwed knick fans over.

[ELIKIS503]

@MyDonald45 Yours is the crappiest comment ever made

[wasabiluver]

[huamanJR]

[acegotflows]

@AsianBoiee Mark Aguirre wone titles with Detroit in 89 and 90...

[bestamerica]

'

bomb weapon shoe is NOT allowed in the airplane by the FAA rule

[HeadlessEye]

McHale and King were the only ones with any flow. Larry Bird was BY FAR the worst one, which is saying an AWFUL lot.

[TheHairIsLegend]

@HeadlessEye cut Bird some slack, he did pretty good for a white guy from Indiana

[PresidentILS]

@HeadlessEye Three time MVP, three time NBA champion, unarguably the greatest white player to play in the NBA

Can't be great at everything :)

[smailer07]

@bobonastick123's favourite advert

[Survivor87]

I need to get a piece of outtakes from this out and on youtube..first one Isiah forgets and throws shoe down, second, Aguirre steps up and says.. "whateva!" and 3rd, McHale comes up with: "Mr Director we need a new script, cause we're awfully tired of doing this ****"

[VINCENTBALLER]

You would figure King would have the best flow since he is representing

NY. Needs to work with the others.

[VINCENTBALLER]

Besides the Beastie Boys, this is the only time you'll see a white boy outrap

4 brothers in an 80's video. Props to McHale. Bird needs prayer!!!!!

[VINCENTBALLER]

Classic video. At least Converse didn't pimp kids to buy $130 shoes

like NIKE and JORDAN!

[fenderbenderfc]

Kevin McHale tearin' up the mic! By far the best flow. Magic and Isiah struggled.

[xterminaler]

That commercial is fucking awesome.

Must have Bird shoes.

[methodboy57]

i love it!

[tovrljan]

like

[Hot80s]

Bird & Magic Rules.

[mastrodonte113]

OMG Larry BIrd looks like Paul Mc Cartney

[HeadlessEye]

If he was hit by a bus.

[HIPHOPCHAMBER]

SO WHO IS THE OLD WHITE LADY AT THE END?

[gallonofpcp]

@HIPHOPCHAMBER HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[aldrichp]

It looked like magic wanted to make out with Larry at the end.

[t3hj3ka]

i'd want to make out with larry, wouldn't you

[ristobenjie]

Bernard King had the best flow.

[drayakadez]

yooooo...i used to rock the weapons....had like all the different colors...lol...i love the white yellow and purple ones tho

[bballcardcollector09]

bird looks gay

[kerpal3]

kevin mchale had the best flow the second would be king and 3rd is magic the rest were wack

[MobHeataEnt]

You do know that their playground lyrics were written just for this commercial by a ghost writer.

[2nbafan3]

I agree, Mchale surprised me.

[TheDaRkVeRdE]

GO MCHALE

[Dylans503]

i got he grey ones with the strap from zumiez...sooo sick

[jtt3337]

Larry Legend wasn't exactly known for his rhythm.

[nostalgi20]

[heavyleta]

Tengo las Weapon EVO y he de decir que la amortiguación está de puta madre... CONVERSE rules!!

[Mr23632]

[commonjrod]

wtf is up with that beat... is all fucked up

[markzinger1]

la de los CELTICS me gustan muy buena zapatilla!!! saludos desde CHILE

[HeadlessEye]

King and McHale had a nice flow, but Bird was horrifically bad. He clearly starts too soon. How bad were the other ones if this was the take they used? LOL.

[fggfrffgh]

woah i do look like larry bird hahahaha

[diamels]

Man this takes me back

[phunkykarma]

Turn up the volume.

[boysunog61]

bird is really cocky

he will trash talk anyone in the court

he will say before the game

"i will score 40 points and you can't stop it"

then after he will say "sorry to dissapoint you

i made 41" LOL

[devilchr]

I have this shoes and rulz :D

[commonjrod]

magics XXXX converses are the best

[commonjrod]

i think magic and isaiah had a little thing going on.. but i like how larry dissed all them.. hahahahaha.

[havezate]

My SHOE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

[catchfree84]

isaiah thomas thomas blowing magic johnson

[slimbillybob]

I'ma buy these sneaks...But are they any good for actual hoops?

Because it would be sweet to have a bit of Larry and Magic etc. on my feet, but i dunno whether they'd be any good for it...

Hoping that it'd rub off on me...xD

[ryanjwebb]

I love Birds expression when he says "I walked away with the MVP" !!!

[hoobie06]

i had the black ones.. remember how heavy these shoes were?

[Necriones]

More or less best shoes i ever wore, Pretty tight commercial too. :)

[myfamilyfilmers]

oh thats right cool-whats quaker state??

[jbnax44]

pull the loading bar to the very left at 0:00 and you see a quaker state ad.

[Survivor87]

This aired in 1987, I have it on tape myself from the 1987 NBA All-Star Weekend

[northtexan95]

Wow! I have the same commercial on tape from the same All Star game.  Glad I'm not alone. This is a great commercial.

[thepopculturefiend]

Awesome! I had the white on white ones and kept 'em for years. Only saw this commercial once or twice but always remembered it. Thanks for posting!

[murray1234567891011]

bangin i own the black ones

[jokebooks]

those black weapons Bird used to wear were my favorite, I bought a pair a few years ago when they were re released, they were very comfortable.

[Kobegrl24]

Great commercial. This is the first time I seen it. I wasn't even born when this commercial was made. I was born in '89. lol I love in though!

[bashmo]

real talk, sick commercial, sick ending.

[ClonedRoboticSheep]

Do you mean sick, or chav sick?

[bashmo]

lol i mean sick by "awesome " sick

[ClonedRoboticSheep]

Chav sick then.

[bashmo]

must be chav sick then haha

[craigblast]

Magic looked like he wanted to sock Larry.

[iceman30five]

Low key when he raised up his mvp trophy

[rogertayloRRR]

GreaT ad !!!!!

[davidspursduncan]

look at Bird's face at the end

[arasta321]

hahah!!he looks gay!

[inc0gn3grO]

Bernard King is smooth as hell

[Rucks90]

man I gotta agree with you on that. And I liked the MAVS old school jersey. That green killin' it.

[SteveAndIdiAmin]

Zeke, Magic, Aguirre, BKing, McHale, Bird.

Yeah, today's players are better athletes, but the game was better then.

[Zeeboe]

lol....."better athletes". That's a good one.

But hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

[SteveAndIdiAmin]

Enlighten me, Dr. LOL. I mean, you shit on other's opinions without offering your own. So here's your chance.

Before you do, reread what I wrote: I didn't say better "basketball players," I said better athletes. More specialized, better conditioned, better trained, but NOT better ballers. Which is why I said the game was better.

e.g., Bron and Bird play the same "three" position. Who's the better athlete? I say Bron. Maybe an academic argument, but an air-tight one nevertheless.

[Zeeboe]

LMAO.

[Coolkid76]

I wouldn't expect Kevin McHale to be the best rapper in this video... but he is!

[FFUYP]

dang i can't find 1 of those pair of shoes in my country i really wanted bird's CW

[JasonsWorld86]

Kevin McHale has Rhythm, everyone else was way off beat,

[unusedname197]

[mattcmbball]

i walked away with the MVP

[PrimalLight2323]

That is one badass fuckin' hi-top... O.G.

[str8kila]

i like how none of them has any rhythm

[BGstunts]

[FlawlessKB24]

oh shit!

look at BK!

NBA fans should really know who BK Bernard King was.

learn your history kids

[mufcukyou]

the only one being on beat was McHale.

[capnbomz]

Incredible - McHale's the only one who is close to being on-beat.

[matias9900]

[DebbyTampubolon]

[PspVideoGuide]

[code21t]

[Celticsareback1]

rofl Bird owned them

[Ejay614]

larry bird spittin that ether

[thereisnonametotake]

They are the new NWA

[Blades11]

larry bird wasnt even on beat. lol dumb fuck

[gannable]

yo yo larry bird yo he not be on beat yo.

THat's the point asshole. All of the black dudes sucked ass so bad that even Larry Bird sounded better and he wasnt even rapping. Do you be understandin now?

[Blades11]

its funny how your using ebonics when i didnt use ebonics at all. isiah, aguirre, and king were much better then larry in rapping.

[dulaneyj]

yea but bird owned them all on the court, douche. he walked away with the MVP dipshit, weren't you listening.

[Blades11]

your the dipshit, we were talking about the rapping not how he beat them all. fucking piece of shit

[dulaneyj]

fuck you son. i heard you had four lips.

[Blades11]

thats all you got?

are you mad because i told you off? faggot

[dulaneyj]

no I was just going easy on you cuz I could tell you were menstruating.

[Blades11]

lol im not even gonna bother with you. piece of shit

[sg500]

lol at the end it looked like magic wanted to give bird a deep passionate kiss lmao

[TheBlackSunn]

what kind of homoerotic bullshit are u on?

[logjammers]

hahahah,i never noticed that,....hahahah

[sg500]

yo ppl dont give a fuck about detroit and always slept on the pistons but isiah was the abesoloute truth he and dumars in their prime is possibly the best backcourt of all time barring all star and usa teams.

[rosschiraz411]

Loved this--man, that is when basketball was amazing and fun. Say what you say about Isiah as a coach and GM, but he was a warrior on the court. He was right there, a tiny notch below Bird and Magic. His Game 7, 26-point 4th quarter against the Lakers (with a sprained ankle) is one of the the top 5 NBA performances of the past 25 years. Anyway, now he's out of NY, Knicks fans can go crucify someone else now. It doesn't matter cause the Knicks are garbage and are gonna stink for a long time.

[cbaldwinjr]

Real talk. Isiah's game was in Game Six and the 25 pts came in the 3rd quarter, but you're right...his game was insane

[JKwoftw]

Bird at the end looks like he has down syndrome.

[gannable]

76ers of the early 80's, Boston, LA were better than the Bulls teams by far. 83 76ers would have buried the Bulls. Jordan would have spent half his energy trying to guard Andrew Toney. If you never heard of Andrew Toney its because injuries cut his career short but he would have been a sure hall of famer - "the Boston Strangler"

[goatis23]

Only because the 1980s teams were less diluted by expansion. I'll give you that the Sixers, Celtics, and Lakers would beat the Bulls in most years.

Andrew Toney is a good player (like Gilbert Arenas), but Jordan was able to shut down great guards and still go apeshit on offense.

[davepangburn]

How about this for a Final Four matchup...

'83 76ers!

'86 Celtics!

'87 Lakers!

'96 Bulls!

Now that would be a hell of a Playoff!

[ClevelandCrusher89]

86 celtics would pwn them all

[edge418]

with the 86 celts and the 87 lakers goin at it in the finals

[fanfanyue]

Larry Bird is really 'good' at rap.

[Yassinalina]

lol

[ristobenjie]

How about New Yorker Bernard King having the best flow.

[anndizzle13]

those are some cool shoes!

[CBove1]

Larry's game and "permullet" were at their peak right there!

[crisoner]

MAGIC is GOAT!!!!!

[Blitzwing42]

No need to argue whether the featured players are the best or not (though I think Jordan is the greatest).

This commercial (and the rapping) is far from flawless, but its an iconic excerpt of the colorful 80s-era NBA -- and, ergo, rightfully deserves a place in cyberspace.

Nice post dude, don't mind the negative comments from these retards.LOL

[reh629]

even though it was cheesy, could you imagine KG,kobe, tim duncam, lebron,cp3, nash, and dirk all in one commercial?

[at1212b]

Serioussly, that's what made the league fun. Its like grown men who fought hard but still had a level of respect for each other.

Seems like all the new 'stars', since they grew up spoiled and all the attention on them, would never make a commercial where they look a bit goofy with each other.
