If there were two guys in the 80s you
wouldn't have expected to find dunking on each other in a solitary game of one-on-one, it would have been Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge. But Reebok begged to differ, to the point where they made an entire commercial that centered around such a dubious scenario. The "dunks" are filmed in that sad, look-away manner that suggests poor DJ probably had to jump off a folding chair just to reach the rim.
The best part of this particular commercial is the ending, where the two men smile and pull into an embrace that's gayer than a fanny pack full of rainbows. I guess Danny is just a better man than me, because I'm not sure I could hug a guy who just dunked all over me.

Sorry for being away and all, but I HAVE been reading the posts...work has taken its toll on me, though...
mcbias -- The only bad thing about those shoes, they were freaking heavy. It was like wearing bricks on your feet.
josh -- Glad you're back. Those guys in the black ski masks? No, we didn't really send them out looking for you. That's crazy talk.
At exactly 13.5 seconds, Ainge plays a little grab ass.
Classic Ainge (I couldn't find the video of when Horry threw his towel in Ainge's face while coach of the Suns):

How is that even a foul on Ainge? If you look real closely, you can see Al McCoy.
Magic has to be the second worst color ever, next to Walon of course.
