[@pm41224]

"One thing about J.R. you don't know, that he is on _Pro Basketball's Funniest Pranks_. Hey buddy, you wonder why the phones were busy? I got ya!" Muggsy got J.R. good.

[@HEAVYLIFEMETAL]

[@GM-by7tc]

House phone what a throwback! I actually got to meet JR Reid in San Antonio when he played with the Spurs

[@Indigo_LaCrown]

That living room is so 90s 😂 0:23

[@crispy6311]

Aw man, you know J.R felt sick! He handled it well enough though. lol

[@krlm2280]

[@matthewhohenbery2287]

“It’s just turrible, a turrible trade.” 😂🤣😂🤣

[@TahitianTreatSkeetJuice]

lol@the shoe horn joke. JR Reid was actually all for it. he was smiling hard af when he thought he would be traded lol

[@JeffSayYes]

That is terrible! I felt like I was gonna cry for JR Reid!

[@eomyenom1]

RIP Gerry Valincourt you’ll be missed

[@orthotech9758]

I used to love tuning in to Gerry V and Matt Pinto when they were calling Hornets games in the 90's and listening to him on Sports Talk Radio. Those were good times.

[@ND-OPS]

It's tough to execute this prank today coz cellphones, social media, and news source are everywhere. But I hope they still try this today tho

[@cosmowanda868]

Man, I wonder what the people watching channel 18 at the time this happened were thinking when the news broke, and was later revealed to be a prank. But I'm sure they got a few good laughs out of it. "J.R., we got you!"

[@JonHop1]

It was not broadcast, it was prerecorded and only airing in Mugsey House

[@blackflag5148]

I love Muggsy "Shotgun" Bouggs Shotgun because he survived a buck shot at 5 years old ;)

[@blakfloyd]

Muggsy never let money change him which you can tell by that 25" TV.

[@sevinohhsavage]

This was great!

[@gregwilliams910]

Bump and rump 😂😂😂

[@lesaatuatasi6267]

That was soo good. Man, they were so young

[@JacaboBlanco]

How have I never seen this 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mr.PR2000]

What really sells it is that Mahorn and Barkley are known to actually being too honest 😂😂😂 Like Barkley saying “It’s a very very bad trade” is something he would say no fucks given 😂😂😂

[@MC-mn6mu]

That's hilarious

[@CLLife]

90s BOSS MONEY RIGHT THERE

[@brandonraj7020]

[@amirthephotographer]

If they had did that to Kenyon Martin he would have put Mugsy in his fish tank.

[@frenchdoge]

prank level : expert

[@chinoskateboardv]

That’s just “Turrible”

[@smokeyfreshhh]

Ha ha ha ha !!

[@RobotWillie]

I'm sure he was happy the trade wasn't real as he says he's happy to still be in Charlotte but he move around a lot afterwards. 4 years in San Antonio,part of a season with New York,at least part of a season with a French team in Paris,then 3 more yeras back in Charlotte,then part of a season with LA Lakers,then a couple of years with Milwaukee,then a couple with Cleveland, then a couple with another French one in Strasbourg, then he spent the last 2 years of his career in Spain. I think this prank may just have been preparing him for the future without him knowing it. But all in hindsight. But you know, getting traded has bad connotations but at least the team getting you thinks you were worth getting in exchange for. The trades that can really make one see they might be of low value is if your one of 3 players traded to another team for 1 guy. (like the Orlando-OKC trade this off-season). Although I think Orlando overvalued the guy they got and underrated the guys they traded to OKC. The worse part though is I imagine having to leave some of the guys you have made friends with. Then you hear about people leaving places or demanding trades because they don't get along with people where they are. JR obviously really like the people in Charlotte.

[@nashidm6086]

Dude, was ready to leave though

[@jorgerodriguez-ku4fw]

Yo tonood dang funny

[@reformer6666]

That was so cruel...lol.

[@Phil-S8]

[@lucashack5318]

And THAT is how it's done.

[@jerryesque3747]

They should do these prank trades again, but it would be hard. If Reid would of had a smart phone the jig would be up.

[@RealBased]

That lil girl already half Muggsys size 😭

[@infiniteheis]

& Girls were way less shallow back then. He was pulling left n right all at 5’3

[@Alexz_Archivz]

I guaranteed they told JR to over-shadow his crotch with his hand for tv viewing audience purposes.

[@wysefavor]

thats hilarious ...lol .. J.R looks like Giannis! Where is J.R. Reid today tho ?

[@kingdomcitizenship5613]

JR took it really well

[@orthotech9758]

[@gddb831]

Wtf those are some big ass hidden cameras 😂

[@Cluez31]

And that floor set of a TV.... man the early 90s

[@coreyrich420]
