Nah. I lived em both and some 70s. The 90s were the last great american decade before this madness we have now. The 80s were the best. Even the 70s were in some ways better.
*American 🇺🇸 And yes I agree :( LORD willing hopefully for us and our future, we as a country can return back to that Grace. Internet and cellphones ruined all that. And also men should not cross dress. But he’s kinda just wearing a robe like garment with a long haired wig and hat with granny glasses. It’s not like he’s got makeup and heels or wearing a skirt and all that mess.
Larry Johnson as Grandmama in Converse shoes---Gold Standard of commercials. Loving the nostalgia vibe. The greatest and most hilarious gimmick ever. What a collection.
Well, I used to hear the "Grandmama" persona of Larry Johnson from neighbors, classmates, and cousins but not these commercials. Not too late. Glad to see these ads in a compiled 5-minute play.
That last one is the one I remember most. Matter of fact hearing "I told y'all, stay outta the lane when granny's driving" in my head is why I went on a memory scavenger hunt to remember in what commercial I heard that.
Loved these commercials. And the ref in the 3 Point Land commercial was one of the last surviving Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz, for those who don’t know.
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325I'm pretty sure Charlie represents the lollipop guild. That's why he makes an excellent ref. (I guarantee nobody gets that reference)
This made my day. Had a pair of the react juice When i was like 10. Never realized how many commercials they made. The kj's were dope too with the phx colors
I had the Kevin Johnson Run and Slams. I loved those shoes. I remember my grandfather asking me why there was a giant hole in the bottom of the shoe (The React Juice window). Grandmama would have known.
I just read that someone pitched this commercial idea to Larry Johnson not sure if he would like it and Larry Johnson loved it saying they had to do it.
Ahh to be a kid in the 90s memories
Yup remember these we grew up in golden era of sneakers its just not the same anymore
Being a Teenager in the 90s was awesome.
Garrett Grier yes indeed
We did have the best childhood
I definitely don’t remember react juice though lol
Before Uncle Drew !!! There was Grand Ma Ma !!!!
uncle drew copied from Lebron James
@@ahmadjackson3383 how
Larry put in a lot of work and swolled his pried for his shoe add
Mell Uhuru I grew up in the 90’s I don’t remember much of Grand MaMa commercials I was too busy outside playing with my friends.
Before Madea there was Grandmama.
Damn, the nostalgia is CRAZY right now. I'm so glad I was a kid in the 90's. Definitely the best decade ever.
Yep. Men wearing dresses.... what a time to be alive.
The 80's was better.
@@capitanfuturo594 The 80s were amazing, but the 90s was just INCREDIBLE.

Without question, one of the great gimmicks ever ! absolutely love these commercials !
Gimmick so great that someone else used it and became a billionaire.
One of my favorite players growing up. 90s NBA was amazing. Charlotte Hornets were amazing

Larry was a helluva player the back problems shorted his prime...
Agree !
I forgot how much I loved these commercials as a kid
LARRY JOHNSON IS MY FAVORITE OFF ALL TIMES
This commercial made Larry Johnson one of my favs.
I was an adult in the 90's turning 18 in 1992. Fond memories
Well, I used to hear the "Grandmama" persona of Larry Johnson from neighbors, classmates, and cousins but not these commercials.
Not too late.
Glad to see these ads in a compiled 5-minute play.
And then Madea was born. Tyler Perry got rich off this.
😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing. He needs to cut Larry Johnson a check!!
Straight up facts..!!
It's sad
@Sim Singh He ain't that bad.
I sure loved this era, was a lot of fun.
That last one is the one I remember most. Matter of fact hearing "I told y'all, stay outta the lane when granny's driving" in my head is why I went on a memory scavenger hunt to remember in what commercial I heard that.
Point blank period I miss the '90s😫😫😫
I'm surprised he didn't sue Tyler Perry for making Madea as a Grandmama ripoff.
My thoughts exactly
I would to see a one on one b-ball match between them
Eddie Murphy was first w the fat ppl movie
That's if LJ owns any rights to the character
Tyler perry is for real unoriginal and unfunny
Johnson and Drexler were my favorite players ever. Larry was built as wide the backboard itself.
Tyler Perry owes Larry Johnson a check.
The best commercial series ever!!
I want these shoes, I want them now! Make it happen Converse, cant let Nike have all the fun with these 90s retros!!!
Nostalgia. 90s kid baby!
I remember this commercial and wanted those shoes after, they were so dope, never got them.
Always one of my two favorite shoe COMERCIALS, Jordan being the other!!!
Thank you so much for posting this timeless masterpiece of commercials! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved these commercials. And the ref in the 3 Point Land commercial was one of the last surviving Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz, for those who don’t know.
Did he represent the lollipop guild?
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325 As a matter of fact, he did. I kid you not.

Larry Johnson was a great basketball player.
Unfortunately, his back injury stopped his great moment.
Loved these commercials back in the day😁😂
These commercials brought me back to my childhood
Great commercials! Man I wish it was still 1992!
Before Madea there was Grandmama.
This made my day. Had a pair of the react juice When i was like 10. Never realized how many commercials they made. The kj's were dope too with the phx colors
I used to LOVE her ❣️❣️❣️
anyone else watching this in Feb 2020? WHAT A TIME IN SNEAKER HISTORY!
This was so legendary man I missed these days and I missed Larry Johnson in the league
They been puttin grown ass men in dresses for time.
Yo, Kevin, you alright man? Kevin?
Man react juice was amazingly innovative and so technologically advanced. IT REALLY DID A LOT
3:57 how ironic that the play LJ will be remembered for forever is a 3-point shot
*4-point-shot ;) *does the LJ arm-cross*
1999 baby !!!
I had a converse b-ball signed by LJ back in the 90s. Then I lost it ahhhhhhhhhh. So sad...
Chris Redfield I never liked converse. I grew up in that 90’s the most popular shoes in Los Angeles were L.A. Gear, Vans, Nikes, FILA, and Reebok’s.
3:03 “Oh oh... looks like I’m gonna need a rain check on my bikini wax, Louise.” 😂 Hilarious!
Bro. Him and sir charles use to go at it. Im 37 this made me smile.
We Grew up in a Hellava Time! My teen Years Damn! I remember when I first Madea; I Thought 💭 about Larry Johnson as Grand Ma Ma !! 😂🇺🇸
Damn I miss these commercials. 😄
i loved these commercials as a kid
Before Big Momma’s house there was Grandmama
Thank you so much for putting this together ! :D It's amazing ! :D
I remember all of these .😂😂😂 I did not even realize he wore a dress for 5 years. At that point it was a Lifestyle 😂j/p
Those were some of the best commercials back in the day!
LJ was da bomb back in the day... these commercials are fricking awesome!!!
With REACT JUICE!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
Yea, and the air pumps. They knew how to scam us all. Lol
i had the reebok pumps lol
The juice is legit. ASICS kinda has the same thing now with gel and that’s no joke
@@bambamjesus5067 u work for asics🤔
@@synarafrancis7137 The pump worked. You could customize the fit. It just made the shoe a little heavy.
"that was a lucky shot grandma"😂🤗
That brick of a three point shot as the sky opens up will always get me. Lmao
Great video! I was and raised in Charlotte and still live in the area. LJ was my favorite.
Tim Green ah back when they were called to Hornets, which sounded better too.
this granny looks like the one from family matters in that basketball episode.
Yep!! That's her!! 🥰
These need to come back out if they haven't already.
I had the Kevin Johnson Run and Slams. I loved those shoes. I remember my grandfather asking me why there was a giant hole in the bottom of the shoe (The React Juice window). Grandmama would have known.
LEBRON COULD NEVER EVER SCORE ON GRANDMAMA!!!
Yes he could
LeWoke James
You bugging .
As a sneaker head who couldn't afford the sneakers as a kid....I came back to look again before I get them just cause!
Nostalgic ❤️🍻
Had the 1993 white LJ Conv Shoes.. Loved it 😍
90s was PEAK humanity.. and it’s not even close.
I was a Larry Johnson fan club member back in the day and it was probably because of these commercials lol
Larry Johnson was yamming as soon as he put on an NBA Jersey.
_3STA LINEA DE CONVERSE-CONS SIEMPRE ESTUVO MUY CHINGONA 😇👍🏽_
Zion should wear these]
i forgot about all the juicin goin on back then
Iconic!!
Grandmama Johnson Should Be a playable Character on NBA 2k
Man this made me smile
Family Matters brought me here.
The Uncle Drew of the Nineties
More like tyler perry of the nineties
I was a little kid when all of this happened.
I never owned the shoes but the commercials were hilarious.
Much simpler days...
lol, been a while since I saw Kevin Johnson in a commercial "Yo, Kevin, you ok man?"
Now that's what you call basketball commercials.
Damn I miss being a kid around this time.
THE MAN WHO HIGHLIGHTED WOMAN IN THE GAME ⁉️💪🏾 ( THANK YOU🙏🏾🌷🌹🌺
Good times
Grand Ma Ma is to hard lol
When I was a kid my big brother told me that was his real grandma and she scared the hell outta me.
Who's commercials were better Larry Johnson or Penny Hardaway with lil penny?
Barbosa Dunkin Larry but Penny was close!👊
Gotta go with Grandma-ma...
Barbosa Dunkin I would say Penny with lil penny.
@@andresmartinez8439 that's Tyra Banks FOOOOOL!!!
Lol, “that’s Tyra Banks foooo!”
Kevin... Have you met my Grandmama??
"Shes the man". That sentence never range more true in 2022 🤣🤣🤣
LJ could dress like that today, call himself a woman and society would be pressured to take him seriously. lol
Hilarious 😂
The WNBA would be more entertaining with grandmama playing in it.
The original Drag Queen Story Time.
I missed wearing those converse shoes...
that first pair without react were my favourite Bball shoes of all time.
Have they been rereleased??
Kris Keller Im still lookin!!
Memories!
Nostalgic
Wish they can bring back these shoes in the Market. I'm sure they will sell. 🙂
You can't beat what you can't catch. 🙂👍🇺🇲
Keep up the good work
The 90’s were the best. Everything now is bitch made
Ahh so much nostalgia 😎😎😎
I just read that someone pitched this commercial idea to Larry Johnson not sure if he would like it and Larry Johnson loved it saying they had to do it.
Zion williamson reminds me of him
Back when everything was cool and better
I remember this.
1:51 that really is Laimbeer's voice!
