This commercial brought something to my attention that should be known but is rarely noticed openly or acknowledged.

For anyone who was born in the 1980s (probably mid 70s forward), Zeke Thomas is as synonymous with the NBA/basketball in general as anyone, probably more so than Magic or Jordan. Dude has always been involved with the league, legendary college and pro player/champion obviously, face of a historic franchise’s most notable run, was an announcer, coach, GM, team/league owner even. One of the few guys from his era who never shyts on the generations after him. Dynamic play style and personality, enthusiasm for the game. May very well be the truest rags to riches story in the history of the game. I remember reading his book and breh never even knew what a grape tasted like until he was an adult. All the young guys respect Isiah.

I know this shyt was off topic and definitely he deserves his own thread, but it kinda just hit me as I was watching the commercial.

Always felt there was a superstar gear inside of Joe Johnson but he never got quite there. With a different personality though I feel like he would have been looked at as one.
