Hey BJ, back in the 90's, lots of people thought the same that you did, and didn't think Woody Harrelson could dunk. So Woody went on the Arsenio Hall show and dunked with ease on TV with a live audience.
I read that he could dunk 9.5 foot, but not 10. I could dunk 9.5' too at 5'8" and I'm white. lol I could grab the rim of a 10' hoop, but not get over it.
@@gizzys-bigwizzy7629 That was just the social stigma back in those days. It was a harmless one, and obviously there are exceptions, but it was simply born in the fact that white players weren't know for being the most athletic on the court.
Man when I tell you y'all just took me back.... This was the only movie we had on VHS one summer so we watched it for hours running in and out of the house... Acting crazy riding bikes eating cup o noodles.. we were in the TRENCHES.. Maannn this movie brings back sooooo many memories y'all don't even know... Appreciate y'all Happy New Year to y'all 💯 Stay safe out here
This is an absolute classic. The remake is trash and should never have been made. Rosie, Wesley, and Woody needed no remake. How y’all never seen this is str8 hilarious and 🧢 fr. Lol
Pat Riley was quoted saying "If I had to choose a player to save a game it would be Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to save my life it would be Larry Bird."
Btw starting @31:50 and on and the security guard, that’s Cylk Cozart. He’s from right down the road from me right outside of Knoxville Tennessee and I’ve met him on several occasion and he’s an awesome dude!
One of the absolute classics of the 90s. Watching this as 10 year old with my cousin's, when Billy dunked it and celebrated with Sydney, we celebrated like they were our team! Love this film!!
Rosie Perez started out as a Soul Train dancer in the early 80's and got her first movie role in Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing. She went on the be a choreographer. She was the choreographer for The Fly Girls on In Living Color. Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson did another movie together called Money Train.
I watched this Movie back in 1992 when it first dropped in the theater .....so awesome on the big screen.....a great Memory of a time when my friends were still alive
Watched this 100’s of times as a 13 year old… always got me motivated to play basket ball… and tried to imitate some of the plays.. On of the best movies of the 90’s
This was one of the best reactions I've seen. You 2 are great together. This is one of my favorite movies, and I was grinning from ear to ear the whole entire time. Keep up the good work 👏🏼
Asia not realising who Larry Bird is was hysterical 😆😆😆 I loved this movie, especially when Wesley Snipes gets conned so brilliantly… “Swish, swish, let’s go Billy Ho!!!” ✋😁🏀
It's sad that people these days don't know just how much Larry Bird contributed to the sport and how insanely good he actually was, but at the same time it does make it hilarious showing young people his highlights. You always get about ten seconds into a video before they're going, "Wait... WHAT?!"
@@jackrussell3951… I wasn’t much of a basketball fan before my first trip to the U.S. in 1987 & a friend of mine I was visiting in Michigan took me to a Pistons vs Celtics game at the Pontiac Silverdome at a time when the Pistons / Celtics rivalry was super hot. Needless to say, Larry ran hot & helped guide the Celtics to victory. It was a wild experience, that’s for sure, especially after the game when I saw rival fans clashing outside of the arena.
1:49, 7:13 Larry Bird & Magic Johnson are credited with saving the NBA in the 80s. Yall should watch (and/or even react to) some compilations of: [1] their rivalry & [2] Larry Bird's trash talking & [3] the original Dream Team where the U.S. started to allow pro players to play in the Olympics instead of just college players. It was all Allstars (eventual hall of famers) & one college player. That Dream Team's Olympic run was also somewhat like a changing of the guards from Bird/Magic to Jordan. Bird & Jordan also had versus video games and a very popular string of McDonald's commercials of them playing H.O.R.S.E. against one another. Since the Bird/Magic rivalry went back to college and carried into the NBA, a number of people were trying to paint the Caitlin Clark/Angel Reese rivalry the same way in hopes to boost interest in the WNBA.
Just adding that's the 3rd time for saving the NBA. George Mikan was the first, and then Wilt Chamberlain also saved and kept the NBA from going bankrupt. Both of them truly saved and kept the NBA alive. Yes bird and magic get credit but teams werent dying. They absolutely deserve credit for bringing attendance and interest to the NBA. Just like Jordan deserves credit for expanding and growth of the league. Just saying.
That Dream Team video, my favorite part is when they are talking about going to a topless beach and Patrick Ewing is signing autographs with his wife around and the other players are busting him saying, "You don't ever sign autographs!". Probably the best part about that documentary is seeing all these great players talk about how they bonded.
@@jasonnelson6624 Teams may not have been dying in the NBA back then, but the league itself was certainly in dire straights w/ attendance being at an a all-time low. Bird & Magic single-handedly turned that around, so yes, they definitely did help save the league.
I got really good grades in 91 and because of that, my parents (who were broke) got me the two very expensive gifts that I REALLY wanted for Christmas. One gift was a Super Nintendo, the other was a pair of Pumps. The Pumps were super popular. If you wore them at my school, you got attention. That was short lived, though, because every kid who got a pair learned that they fell apart after 6 months of wear. By 93, I didn't know anyone who wore them. The popular shoe went back to being Jordans.
The hats are the kind a road bicyclist wears. Painter hats were popular too, even the ones with the flaps in the back. Look them up, there hilarious! You two are the best! Thanks for your reaction.
“Ain’t no thing but a chicken wing on a string!” Always remembered that line. The “We goin’ to Sizzler!”, was another huge quote. Sizzler was a popular steakhouse chain back then. Kind of a poor man’s fancy place to eat. This movie reminds of early college and everything 90’s. Guys would always pump up another player’s shoes just to mess with them. Major In Living Color vibes. Watched this movie many times as we had the VHS tape.
I am absolutely cracking up at Asia’s mesmerized view of the cassette tape and everything that was in the 90s! Hilarious is not the word.😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 I truly miss the Venice boardwalk and being home in California. I need to make a visit very soon.
@ I have not been home in probably about four years and that is really sad to hear. I would’ve left immediately as well because it used to be absolutely awesome… loved the vendors along the boardwalk.
Awww good one Asia n BJ thanks 😊 My best friend and I were 13 years old and went to the 1 dollar theater that summer to see this movie 4 different times ❤ I STILL wanna be like Mike !
Arguably, one of the best reactions you have ever done!!!! Loved it. Your sports background sure comes out with the movie you're watching. Want more Wesley Snipes, baseball, try "Major League" and for Woody, try "Kingpin" You will enjoy both. Some great sports flicks to help take us away from these cold winter nights. Thanks again, for WMCJ, loved all the laughter.
The great 90's: MTV, FUBU, Pog chips, Tamagotchi, Discmans, Baggy pants, sharing Nokia ringtones, playing 21 on the basketball court, transitioning from VHS to DVD, going to the record store listening to CD's before buying, then playing it loud on the stereo when I'm home alone, this just off the top of my head. Man I miss the 90's!
One of y’all’s best reactions ever. Knew this movie would be a hit with you both. Movie is 30 years old and still as relevant today as it was then. Ron Shelton who directed this movie also did “Bull Durham” w/ Kevin Costner which is a great baseball movie. Also Jerry Maguire is another 90’s sports drama that is culturally relevant.
The hat is a bicycling cap. They are usually worn under a bike helmet, with the brim either up when its cloudy or down when sunny. They also absorb sweat from the cyclist's brow, keeping it from getting in their eyes and salt blinding them while riding. I own several because i ride bikes a lot. The LOOK company makes bikes, pedals and other bike stuff.
Time is also a pedal maker...clipless type. Worn with the clippy shoes. It's a misnomer from when pedals had toeclips and straps....now the modern type "click" in and seem as though they should be called "clipped", but therein lies the rub....they're named backwards because they developed over time that way.
Larry Bird was a marvel. In his time he was universally acknowledged as the most technically proficient player ever. He really didn't need to jump, but he had a great jumping game. I don't know what the current situation is.
“If I had to choose a player to take a final shot to win a game I’d choose Jordan, but if I could pick one to shoot to save my life I would pick Bird.” - Pat Riley
This movie brought people together. It really did. Totally launched Woody Harrelson's career. He was just finishing Cheers when this came out. And this was Wesley Snipe's second sports movie. The first being Major League. Another great one you two should check out. It's hilarious.
Technically, both Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson both had parts in the 1986 movie named Wildcats, with Goldie Hawn. That's how Woody and Wesley became friends. They were actual friends outside of acting before doing this movie.
I used to try to be like Michael Jordan... with our basketball goal at half mast, lol! I saw this in the theater when it came out! Had a huge crush on Rosie Perez!
Yes, I was definitely one of those young men in the early 90s with a crush on Rosie Perez, I was 11 when this came out. My favorite part, though, is when he tries to rob the liquor store. OG knows exactly who he is and doesn't even flinch with a gun in his face😆😆😆😄
Hey guys, you do know that they have three movies together, Wildcats (1986), White Man Can't Jump and Money Train. I think Rossie's first movie was Do the Right Thing. Great Reaction!
@@time2chill121 Goldie Hawn was the coach. The Principal is a good movie as well, first time I saw it I couldn't get the scene out of my mind when they throw the kid thru the sky roof of the school.
In the 90s my family drove from Texas to Florida for Disneyworld. We had a white dodge conversion van and plugged in a tv and vcr and we watched this movie over and over on the drive. My favorite sports movie ever. I played bball until 1 year at a small college. 6'1 light skin hispanic and i still reference this movie to this day. And yes I could dunk (back in the day) lol
My older cousin wanted Reebok Pumps so bad one Christmas and went craaaazy when he got them 😊....my friends father took a group of us to see this movie when we're kids waaay to young to be seeing this movie 😮...lol
Rock, hip-hop and movies were killing it in the 90's. They say everything comes back around. I've been waiting for the 90's to show back up for a while.
Bro it’s actually starting already. It’s crazy to see kids wearing jenkos and ish like that. I can’t wait to see the first kid wearing a Cross Colors outfit. 😂
I remember my dad coaching my elementary basketball, he was not the best coach tbh, but that was a white man who could dunk. He did two dunks first practice and no body in class could tell me shit cuz my dad was the only one who could do something like that. And he was 45! Man can still shred a skateboard and slalom water ski, I love you dad, you’ll always be one of my biggest inspirations in life.
We were a bunch of white kids in NE Oklahoma obsessed with basketball in the 80s and 90s. We loved this movie and watched it several times including one time at the drive in, we weren’t supposed to go to but did anyway and ended up breaking down a getting caught.
I watched this on UPN in the late 90s cut for television. 😂 Then I got an illegal cable hook up and it popped up on HBO and I couldn’t believe all the f bombs and mfs 😮
"Raymond" is played by former Milwaukee Bucks Forward and NBA All Star Marques Johnson. He occasionally does Bucks Play by Play and Analysis for Fox Sports Wisconsin, where he won a Regional Emmy Award in 2018. Far as Billy and Gloria are concerned... Like Sting said, " If You Love Someone, set them Free."
"He runnin' like he need a favor" 🤣🤣🤣 Dead!!! Cause iykyk ...I thought it was sweet that Asia got a bit choked up, I'm glad she liked it. Definitely an underappreciated classic!!!
I had a pair of reebok instapumps about 15 years ago, they were proper dope. They pumped when you stepped after turning on to fit your foot even better than the og pumps imo. I had a pair of puma disc 🏀 boots in the 90s. They were pretty 🔥👊🏻
Oh, I smiled the whole way through this. quoting along the way. This is the greatest basketball movie and one of my favourites of all time. btw I wore my Jordan 6s out 1993. Best basketball shoes I ever wore.
One of my all time favs. Woody and Wesleys chemistry is undeniable. They ended up doing a film together with J Lo as well.....Rosie used to regularly dance on soul train in the 80s and was a choreographer for the In Living colors dancers!
This is still, to this day, one of my all-time favorite sports movies, particularly on basketball. Wesley & Woody's dynamic on screen was underrated, as was Rosie Perez's acting in this movie. Rosie was extremely talented, not only in acting, but in dancing as she was a well-known choreographer (along w/ Paula Abdul), and she was/still is a certified baddie.
Dope video y'all, Its cool watching y'all's reaction to these films. Almost like chilling with fam. Plus I love white man can't jump. Westley and Woody are great together. You guys gotta watch Money Train. With those two. Plus Jay-lo is in it. Really good and funny flick💯
I absolutely LOVED this movie as a teenager. My buddies and I quoted it constantly, especially when playing basketball in the alley or down at the playground.

@gizzys-bigwizzy7629 Yeah, "white men can't jump" is a ridiculous myth. Just look at Parkour, the founders and the majority of Pros, are White Boys!
If you think white guys can't jump you need to check out "Connor Barth". White dude can get his neck above the rim.
This was my favorite movie as a teenager. I used to quote it endlessly and still do from time to time
Yep, still quoting this classic as well.
I heard "We goin' Sizzler - we goin' Sizzler" a LOT, especially when anyone asked "where do you want to eat?”
how many times did they say STFU? lol
"Don't let him pull that move, don't let him pull that move! OH NO THAT'S THE MOVE! THAT'S THE MOVE I TRIED TO WARN YA!"
i still do

Rosie Perez use to be a regular dancer on the TV show Soul Train
Fun! I never knew that! Thanks
Rock, hip-hop and movies were killing it in the 90's. They say everything comes back around. I've been waiting for the 90's to show back up for a while.
Bro it’s actually starting already. It’s crazy to see kids wearing jenkos and ish like that. I can’t wait to see the first kid wearing a Cross Colors outfit. 😂
It's been forever since I've watched this! Great reaction A&B 🖤🤍
"Larry Burden" 😭😭🤣🤣🤣 Love yall ❤❤
You guys reaction when he dunked, LOVE YOU GUYS
We going to Sizzler's, We going to Sizzler's....LOL!!!
Wesley and Woody get back together in The Money Train with J-Lo.
I just picked up my from after shovelling this Canadian snow and instantly clicked lol The Jimi Hendrix scene was always one of my favourite parts
I remember my dad coaching my elementary basketball, he was not the best coach tbh, but that was a white man who could dunk. He did two dunks first practice and no body in class could tell me shit cuz my dad was the only one who could do something like that. And he was 45! Man can still shred a skateboard and slalom water ski, I love you dad, you’ll always be one of my biggest inspirations in life.
We were a bunch of white kids in NE Oklahoma obsessed with basketball in the 80s and 90s. We loved this movie and watched it several times including one time at the drive in, we weren’t supposed to go to but did anyway and ended up breaking down a getting caught.
LOVED my Reebok pumps, back in 91 ish i think! yeh im that old :P
The biggest shoe trends I remember from the 1990's are Doc Martens combat boots and shoes with light-up heels.
Woody played basketball well...he actually taught Wesley how to play basketball for the movie.
@@mikehan7644 yeah. Anyone who played can tell Woody could ball. Snipes, ehh not so much.
I watched this on UPN in the late 90s cut for television. 😂
Then I got an illegal cable hook up and it popped up on HBO and I couldn’t believe all the f bombs and mfs 😮
Remember the TV descramblers?
I so had the pump me up Shoes 😂.. I had a special edition where the pump button was shaped and looked like a basketball 😂😂
Just saw some in the store the other day and Iverson's as well.
oh wow, i had those too, i thought they all had the basketball button on the tongue !
Ah yes, Larry Burton. The memories.
lol
My dude BJ said "Shaq" shoes......I had Shaq pumps back in like '94 or so hahahahaha
I had to go look them up, they were called Shaq Attacks in 1992. 😆
"Raymond" is played by former Milwaukee Bucks Forward and NBA All Star Marques Johnson. He occasionally does Bucks Play by Play and Analysis for Fox Sports Wisconsin, where he won a Regional Emmy Award in 2018.
Far as Billy and Gloria are concerned... Like Sting said, " If You Love Someone, set them Free."
"He runnin' like he need a favor" 🤣🤣🤣 Dead!!! Cause iykyk ...I thought it was sweet that Asia got a bit choked up, I'm glad she liked it. Definitely an underappreciated classic!!!
I had a pair of reebok instapumps about 15 years ago, they were proper dope. They pumped when you stepped after turning on to fit your foot even better than the og pumps imo. I had a pair of puma disc 🏀 boots in the 90s. They were pretty 🔥👊🏻
Yeah the puma disc was crazy too
BJ, you gotta get Asia to watch a special that interviewed NBA legends talking about Larry Bird's trash talk. 😂
Oh, I smiled the whole way through this. quoting along the way. This is the greatest basketball movie and one of my favourites of all time. btw I wore my Jordan 6s out 1993. Best basketball shoes I ever wore.
Love this movie, never gets old. Brought back lots of memories!
One of my all time favs. Woody and Wesleys chemistry is undeniable. They ended up doing a film together with J Lo as well.....Rosie used to regularly dance on soul train in the 80s and was a choreographer for the In Living colors dancers!
This is an all time classic that I can watch over and over. Glad you guys enjoyed it! 👍🏽🏀
I definetly had the pumps, I remember the pump was styled like a basketball. Loved pumping them up and leting the air out lol.
Hey i just discovered your channel before christmas thank you so much for sharing these great movies!
Loved this movie back in the day, surprised its not more popular with reactors. Top tier trash talk inside
You both make my day better. Especially after a bs day at work. Love the channel!
21:58 Raymond, in the yellow, is Milwaukee Bucks Legend Marcus Johnson, aka Michael Jordan’s FAVORITE player!
This is still, to this day, one of my all-time favorite sports movies, particularly on basketball. Wesley & Woody's dynamic on screen was underrated, as was Rosie Perez's acting in this movie. Rosie was extremely talented, not only in acting, but in dancing as she was a well-known choreographer (along w/ Paula Abdul), and she was/still is a certified baddie.
7pm EST in the 30 years I lived on the east coast. PA
The great Dee Brown made the pumps legendary during the Dunk Contest he pumped em up and did the left hand dunk blind
Dope video y'all, Its cool watching y'all's reaction to these films. Almost like chilling with fam. Plus I love white man can't jump. Westley and Woody are great together. You guys gotta watch Money Train. With those two. Plus Jay-lo is in it. Really good and funny flick💯
I absolutely LOVED this movie as a teenager. My buddies and I quoted it constantly, especially when playing basketball in the alley or down at the playground.
Oh man... I love Wesley Snipes 😍😍😍
Same - he nailed the role as "Blade" and made it his own! One of the coolest actors on the planet!
Marques Johnson played Raymond. He’s in the NBA hall of fame
