Memories Of The MTV Rock N Jock Jams

[dvdjamm]

A big shout out to Mark Wahlberg for retelling the story of how an ill-fated run-in at an MTV "Rock N' Jock" basketball game is the reason he and Leonardo DiCaprio didn't like each other very much in the early '90s, mostly because it reminded us that "Rock N' Jock" was a thing.

"Rock N' Jock" started back in 1991 and ran until 2004, bringing actors and rockstars together with professional athletes to play softball, basketball, and football in only the way MTV could. We dug through photo archives to bring you this glorious mess of nostalgia

Rep coming ts. That shyt was great entertainment on a Saturday. The producers of NBA Allstar weekend should find the folks behind it to learn how to put together a quality celebrity/player game. It had good gimmicks, funny commentators, and a nice mix of athletes from several sports. It was cool to see guys like Kenny Lofton hoopin.

We had Shawn Kemp in some of those games before he got

 

[Niggthaniel Essex]

I remember watching Brian Mcknight on there and thinking, "Look at this bytch ass rnb singer trying to ball..."

Proceeds to beat everybody down the court and cleanly flushes down the dunk.

And I'm like ".....well shyt"

I remember looking forward to Rock n Jock games like I was looking forward to the beginning of the NBA season
