[billslover90]

dwight howard's grandma?????

[jojo24love]

see what the dirty white man has been doing to these so called black athletes

[PenelopeFuckwarrior]

My grandma tried dunking after she saw this commercial and broke her hip in three places and the lawsuit was dismissed! Can you believe that bs?

[e8tballz]

See children this is why when we were young we actually believed shoes would help us play better. THE COMMERCIAL SAYS SO!!

All I need is react juice in my sneaker and it's off to the NBA for me.

[MrJaketthomas]

It's so funny that towards the end of his career on the Knicks, Larry Johnson couldn't even dunk anymore. He used to do layups and finger rolls as a NYK.

[smrand2]

best advertising campaign ever, everyone loved larry and grandmama

[Dwk519]

Like this if u miss the Hornets

[zshaw7549]

Grandmama... that is classic.

[Dwk519]

I live in Charlotte. I MISS THE HORNETS!

[GunGemini]

i have the Kevin Johnston model, always wanted these!

[jreese66]

This is what the Bobcats are missing now..No fun with the new team..

[DURTYSOUTH92]

The Aero Jams are the dopest Converse ever !!

[jpowers55]

Grandmama >>> Madea

[TheRatedIX7]

I had those shoes. they was the shit too

[Polarcupcheck]

@TheRatedIX7 I bought mine in 93-94. Found them in my closet in 2002. Those were some feeling shoes.

[WatchVenusSpa]

The best sports commercials ever are always basketball commercials.

[TheEaglesfanindc]

did anybody buy his shoes lol funny vids tho

[xsalvioutlawx]

@TheEaglesfanindc Alot of people bought his shoes, Converse were popular at that time. Converse REACT JUICE official shoe of the NBA at that time.

[maxpapic]

@TheEaglesfanindc i picked up an unworn pair of these for $60 about 5 months ago. awesome shoe.

[delltardboy]

@maxpapic lucky i hope they werent the retro tho u gotta get the ones like in this commercial that say REACT in the back with the react juice window cuz the new retro ones with the non working react juice just say Converse on the back and its blue

[boomboomgirl]

I used to love these commercials LOL!

[obixango]

that's the first time I have seen this video....that was funnnnnnyyyyyy!!!!

[Thkmra]

Wow...Im showing my age, but I distictly remember this commercial, Lol!! *Sigh*...the 90's!!!

[handbanana55]

@Thkmra  me too

[mrlemonbreath]

They used to give this commercial on Saturday mornings!

[thunderstruck665]

Some might've thought those React sneakers were nothing but a gimmick, but I'll tell you, as a kid I swore by them. Over the course of five years from 94 to 99, I never wore ANY other sneaker. They were the absolute best sneaker there was. You found that out in a hurry when you switched to another sneaker and ended up getting blisters.

[Polarcupcheck]

@thunderstruck665 I would agree. As I said earlier, I dug mine out of my closet circa 2002 for some tennis. They were great. Tennis will beat the shit out a shoe, though. So they have long been history.

[jahmerikan6]

Where is the one where he invites Kevin Johnson to play Grand Ma Ma? I'm dyin to see that one again! lol

[Polarcupcheck]

@jahmerikan6 Wasn't there one where Grandmama works Kevin over, and Larry comes out and says, "Kevin, Have you met my Grandmama?"

[lpc0615]

I bet this is where Tyler Perry got the ideal for Madea.....lol.

Seriously I think Madea and Grand Ma Ma should team up and do a movie.

[EricLFarrell]

@lpc0615 you might be right! I forgot about grand mama

[soccergoalkeeper1]

i remember my parents had bought me this kicks back in '94 for getting good grades in high school. got me laid as well too.

[ROMPEDISCOTEKAS1]

me too just the same!!!

[zuesman101]

u r a virgin

[steviethekid12]

i would always wonder chris berman they would call lj grandma-ma during sunday night countdown

[jgarza52]

damn i didnt know madea could dunk lol

[Wasim0923]

Larry Johnson also dressed up like a grandma on a Family Matters episode with Urkel....and it was Urkel (Jaleel White) and grandma (Larry Johnson)....teaming up and winning the tournament.....I watched that episode recently!

[XXGB34]

I am watching that episode now on Nick at Night!

[delltardboy]

@Wasim0923 ya hes supposed to be the Grandmama the same character its really supposed to be Larrys Grandmama and he just plays the character himself haha cuz in the original commercial for the Aero Glide which is a sick shoe but had no React Juice, Larry Johnson is like these new Cons will have u playin so good my Grandma could beat u in them!! and then it shows Larry in his Grandmama outfit "Lets go!" haha i love that

[bajanluva031]

he was madea b4 tyler perry!!!!!

[Geolink2349]

"slam Larry Johnson and his Grandmama, whatchu want nigga!" - Notorious B.I.G.

[Mike28326]

Grandmama!

[parksitous]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so thats why berman calls the other LJ , "GRAND-MA-MA!!"

[PerkinsRooster]

No, thats why he says, "Grand, GRAND, mama!

[parksitous]

he doesnt say grand twice

[PerkinsRooster]

Berman says grand grand mama when referring to larry johnson of the miami dolphins.

[parksitous]

no he says grand ma MA, u got it mixed up

[Razersun]

You a homo?

[ckunh2004]

Anyone remember when he/she appeared on 'Family Matters' aka that Urkel Show?

[Cullthedog]

i was grandmama for Halloween three years ago. gotta admit it was my favorite costume i ever wore

[freemsia]

LJ was incredible! He could have been the next Sir Charles until that bumped knee took his explosiveness away and made him develop a fadeaway jumper. He was never the same player after that knee injury. :(

[newagepun]

chronic back injuries from all that explosive dunking he does. Really takes a toll away from being the former inside player that he was.

[gar818]

90's were the best times for sports, LJ, MJ, all the greats existed in the 90's, baskeball, and baseball, mark mcgwire, juan gonzales, ken griffey etcc.........

[rshandy]

damn grandma-ma i havent seen her in a LONG time haha..the days! Thats the first Madea there haha

[tghetto5]

I had the Larry Johnsons when I was 6 and they helped me win the JR olympics true story

[verbalhigh]

LJ when he was at charlotte was beast

[BuRRiToZz]

I haven't cared about basketball since I rocked NBA Jam so hard but since the Hornets are apparently really good this year, I'm jumping on their bandwagon just because Grandma was awesome.

[ellissmith23]

yeah he and shawn kemp were probably my favorite players back then i loved those guys

[Usamayomama41]

respect, LJ

[YoungMB90916]

damn...memories

[ckad79]

I was such a huge fan of LJ back in the day, I think I'm the only kid in the world who owned a pair of Conserve Reacts. haha

[giamaica]

No way, i had a pair too. i'm form italy and i got the whole LS's hornets uniform: jersey, trunks, shoes and socks :)

[bostonbrawla]

That's special.

[yoyobradipo]

yeah!!!!!!!

[dioxviad]

someone upload the Barkley on Broadway commercial. it was cool

[bgame08]

can anybody get the family matters episode on here please. i love that episode holla at yo boy

[ladygc419]

I loved that commercial, love me some LJ!

[gwncih1]

converse

[HalfemptyWorldwide]

So why do announcers call Larry Johnson, RB for the KC Chiefs, Grandmama?

[az005us]

because they are uneducated and should never repeat that nickname.

[ephvazquez]

because his name is larry johnson as well. its a joke. a funny one for those of us who enjoyed the original commercials.

[OGRoddyJ]

Because it's that moron Chris Berman from ESPN who does it. BErman is so outdated it's ridiculous.

[Market42Fan]

I don't remember Berman referring to the other Larry Johnson by that nickname.

[OGRoddyJ]

He has during the SportsCenter highlights when the Chiefs are playing.

[aujla13131982]

greatest advert for an athlete ever

[crzybastad]

OH MY GOD I've been looking all OVER for this commercial! Thank you, whoever posted this!

[maha10k]

"check you out yo"

I've never understood what that means.

[tfunk408]

no LJ got his nickname for his role on Family Matters with Steve Urkel

[todd6926]

LJ only appeared in one episode of Family Matters. That episode was in November of 1993, months after the Grandmama character was already created.

[ZECTCustomUnit]

@todd6926

Urkel: "Grandmama, guys. Guys...you're worst nightmare."

[platinumjah]

this is the best athlete commercial
