Ow! This is Jackhammer Washington... Mrs W's boss, baby son. The Dapper Rapper. The Ebony Whippersnapper. Hoah, The Rhyme King forever on the scene. Aww, but the next time I see y’all, I won't be spinnin' sides, I'll be spinnin' ball. So remember, this is Jackhammer. The Windjammer. Taking a toke… (inhales) …dig my smoke.

[@funkybuddha8083]

Great song from the Greatest Basketball Movie of all-time. Shaq said this is the best sports movie ever made period.... I only wish they made a record of the Spinners song when they are in church. It's not part of the soundtrack, too bad.......

[@MrDwb721]

The Four Tops sang Chance of a Lifetime.

[@monicadavis2188]

I LOVED THAT PART!

This movie is the underrated and underappreciated.

@cube1726 Yesirr thats him! " You Think You Tough!". The 2 Twins are Comedian Paul Mooney's sons. They do comedy too. Known as the 'Mooney Twins'.

[@vincegaristo8694]

Just a fun and silly 70s flick. Dr.J was pretty cool. Cheese ball plot. Still loved it as a kid.

[@kingkuts]

Before Jordan there was the Dr.....J....

[@sigsin1]

Since I saw this in the theater right after it was released, it has been the movie by which I judge all bad movies.

Jackhammer ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@melvinpruitt3907]

Which film came out first,this or Thank God it's Friday. They tended to use similar formulas for film back then.

[@mongoslade277]

Both movies were shot about the same time but The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh came out in 1979. Dr J didn't have his afro when the movie came out. TGIF was 1978. Big Debra Winger fan

[@Bsg_quezz999]

dr j is cool

The " Open tryouts" sign big enough ?

@KaniacMonster and by analyse I mean analyze haha!

[@KaniacMonster]

@brittanybug10 WOW! Why don't you analyse that for a minute. "Stupid" is spelled with an id. The renovations to those schools I believe are for the best. The new high school is BEAUTIFUL, as will this old school/the new middle school when it's finished. It's sad to lose memories like in the middle school and this crappy old high school. I spent 3 1/2 years at this poopy school and love it, but think of the wonderful schools the future generations will get to experience!
