I have two pairs of those, the ones Isiah and McHale are holding. I haven’t been rock’em for a long time now, don’t even know why, I think I’m more in an air force one mood now.

I cried a little bit when Bird came on screen. And it had nothing to do with nostalgia.

“1897 was a long time ago…”

Larry Bird and the rest of these cats would like to think so, but it wasn’t THAT long ago…not long ago enough to escape this…they all should STILL be getting heat for this! LOL

great clip…funny how these guys are SO OLD now

grandmaster flash wasn’t nor isn’t a rapper.

the rocket cat says:

I’m shocked at how bad Magic & Isiah were. Bird was pretty bad too, but that was expected.

Who would have thought Kevin McHale would have better flow than Magic & Isiah? Weird.

I also completely forgot that guys actually used to play in Converse (before Nike bought them and Wade brought them back).

See how bad McHale was staring down Isiah?

JCARR says:

That’s not rapping that talking with words that rhyme at the end. Put a little more swag into it.
Bird should rap about his beloved pacers!!!

Taj says:

McHale was on point with his raps! He shoulda kept on with that instead of being a GM! “M.C. Hale” LOL!
