Lakers: Just Say No!
Um, yeah… I don’t even know where to start with this one, but:
- No you’re not on drugs. The audio isn’t synced up, you stoner.
- Why isn’t Kareem — “the captain of the team” — in the goddamn studio with the boys? And is he sitting down and rapping?
- Smrek … best … Fine, we’ll let that one slide…
- You think those yellow shorts were as promiscuous as A.C. Green got?
- I know the sample size is small (see: Byron Scott and Doc Rivers), but it looks like guards who do choreographed dance moves in cheesy music moves go on to coach in the NBA 100% of the time. Quick, someone get Kevin Pelton on the phone!
- WOAH! IS KURT RAMBIS WEARING A CALCULATOR WATCH!?!?
- Best line: “We’re the Thompsons, but no relation.” That killed me.
- James Worthy’s voice just penetrated me from behind.
- Was anyone else a little disappointed with Magic’s verse?
- Someone please tell Pat Riley the Heat have to do a remix to this.
- $10 says the kid in the floral shirt (3:40 mark) eventually becomes a NBA head coach.

(Note: A million thanks to the little birdie named ‘Tito’ who chewed this up and regurgitated it in my inbox earlier tonight. (Subject title: Sorry Hawks — The REAL Greatest Internet Video of All-Time!)
Yeah, ‘Tito’, if you’re reading this — I know I’ll never be able to fully repay you, but… well… what do you say we get us some crack!?)
(Update: “Bust a bucket, who’d a dunk it, Blazer duty, super sunk it, slammin’ geez it, killer threes it, go up-get it-got it-good!” Yes, the magic continues: Faithful Jonser, Alan points us to the Trail Blazers’ gift to the musical world, “Bust A Bucket”. Enjoy!)

This is one of the 3 reasons why the Lakers are my favorite team.
3) Pretty colors
2) Look above
1) Mark Madsen dancing his way into my hearts
So who’s going to buy me a new monitor after it exploded from the brightness of those fuchsia, teal and yellow tank tops?
Just in case the Lakers anti-drug message didn’t get thru your thick skull…
Just Say No With The Golden Girls
When did Canada get crack?
Yo skeets if ur gonna do the Lakers, you gotta do the Blazers’ “Bust a Bucket”
Someone might have to start a blog just to showcase all of these videos. That Blazers’ one is too, too awesome.
“James Worthy’s voice just penetrated me from behind” is the funniest shit I’ve read all week, Skeets.
The choreographed dance moves per 40 minutes rates for both Rivers and Scott are off the charts.
You’re officially a You Tube addict…and I can’t say that I blame you…

White men should not dance.
How can you not love any rap video that busts out the silly string at end? Thanks for Bust a Bucket, Alan.
Skeets: “Lakers, Media, Drugs” doesn’t do this justice — you need to give these old school videos a category of their own, because with any luck they’ll keep coming in all year.
1. O snap, it’s Dave Chapelle! Seriously, Kareem has the whitest voice ever…especially considering what his name is.
2. How many of the guys in the video were high during the sessions?
3. A.C. Green has a suprisingly good rap voice. Same for Byron Scott. Though that “with the jump shot” line made me shake my head. Anyone see him with the Wizards? He mastered hitting the back iron time, after time, after time…
4. So. Many. Damn. Kids.
5. That Dan Patrick clip rocked (see above comment).

Hi, my name is Alan and I too am a Youtube addict. It’s been 24 hours since I last watched a video on Youtube. Lonenlygirl15 is my drug of choice. Thank you for accepting me
If we’re referring to same kid at the 3:41 mark, then yes; anyone who has been videotaped doing the Pee Wee dance deserves at least an interview.
Unfortunately, I have a strange feeling I’d do that exact same dance at that age in a similar situation… just a little less flamboyant in the clothes department.
Crap, I got Byron Scott and Bryon Russell mixed up. My bad.
Hahaha. Man, that “Bust a Bucket” is krunk as funk.
Wow. And I thought I hated the Lakers before! That was horrific. It looked like a bunch of cool mo D clones posing as tourists. James Worthy doing his best issac hayes was the high point. That video needs to be kept from the public for another 20 years at least.
TMac On Fire…
So with all the wonderful videos that have been surfacing lately (bascially, this Lakers one and the Blazers one) I thought I’d search for one of my favorite videos from the past few seasons. Check it out below.
Blogging suddenly isn’…
[…] Lakers are so hip […]
Definitive tard tingles…
In the 80s, pro sports teams felt the need sometimes to record song-and-dance PSAs. In this one, the Pat Riley-era Lakers bust a rhyme regarding drug prevention. Sir Mix-a-lot they are not. And here’s the commentary from Basketball Jones: -No……
[…] Oh, all that, and we put on some neon and Just Say No! […]
