If you’re still a bit upset that the Thunder lost the Blake Griffin sweepstakes last night, check out this video. It should make you feel better.
On a positive note, at least Al wasn’t wearing swim trunks. That being said, tiny white shorts aren’t too much better.
Anyway, that’s what I call a great vintage commercial. The Thunder should recreate it immediately, but instead of digging up the Kamber lady, they should sub her with Joan Gilmore from the Journal Record. For good measure, they should also try to get Jim Traber to chase someone with a baseball bat. I know that a commercial like that would get me to order season tickets immediately.
Thanks! Your message has been sent!
When I saw the title of this post I thought it would be about Al “dribbling” when he ate pickles at Luby’s. Needless to say I was disappointed to find it was about him playing basketball.
I’ve had the pleasure of hooping with Al in the past and I can honestly say he’s as good as advertised.
Troll Basketball…
Now I see why he wears the hat
Was he really 8′ 2″ ??
I would replace her with Jenni Carlson in spandex but thats just me. And I went to a few Calvary games and there was no way in hell that Rosen was 8’2″. I was about 14 at the time and would have noticed some freakishly tall guy other than the players that were playing.
The last time I went 1 on 1 with Al I got an elbow to the chops before I even got to H-O-R..
And with that being said I remember when Manute Bol played with the Florida Beachdogs and they played here and I think that is the tallest and darkest dude I have ever seen and he was anorexic skinny as well. And I will say “Your Welcome” in advance to everyone for your Manute Bol history lesson for today.
Are you a midget as well Chad? If you got a bow to the chops from AL you must be a midget \ for him to reach you.
I have nothing against midgets just for the record.
Rosen was a very average 6’8. This is the same Rosen that boldly predicted Lebron James would be an average NBA player at best.
RatPack, we prefer the term “Person of Negative Height Quotient”.
[...] This video (via The Lost Ogle) is pure gold. It features Al Eschbach and current Fox Sports columnist Charley Rosen. And as Patrick says, the Thunder need to replicate this. Now. [...]
Ah, memories — I actually edited this spot, along with a few others for Bob Hammack and Alan Atkins in the “Eschbach vs. Kamber” series. She was a great sport.
