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.

Without question, one of the great gimmicks ever ! absolutely love these commercials !

I'm surprised he didn't sue Tyler Perry for making Madea as a Grandmama ripoff.

My thoughts exactly

[@popoff21]

I would to see a one on one b-ball match between them

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.

[@gringobronx7670]

Larry was a helluva player the back problems shorted his prime...

Agree !

LARRY JOHNSON IS MY FAVORITE OFF ALL TIMES

[@Gator87]

I miss my childhood so much I damn near cried watching these clips. What I wouldn't give to go back just for 1 day in the 90s

[@ericruiz1036]

This commercial made Larry Johnson one of my favs.

[@OrionOodama]

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.

[@brillopad6911]

I sure loved this era, was a lot of fun.

[@dealer1237]

Johnson and Drexler were my favorite players ever. Larry was built as wide the backboard itself.

[@YSFMusic]

They been puttin grown ass men in dresses for time.

[@CJDavis-ij4df]

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.
