Remember Larry Johnson?

[Sothron]

For those too young to remember:

 

 

 

And now for something for my friends @Spud2nique and @kg01 to either love, hate or make fun of me for...prolly all of the above. Due to the previous death threats against myself and Mrs. Sothron I had to edit out my face. I don't think anyone would do anything at this point but you can't be too sure.

And yes, those are authentic Converse Aero Jams with the Larry Johnson home Hornets color way. Probably my favorite kicks. Those early to mid 90's Hornets were my go to 1a back in the day for me. I figure you guys and gal could use a smile after the tough losses recently so here's ol' Soth with some light hearted cheer.

Awesome stuff Soth! Vintage gear right there! I never saw the LJ long sleeve one before that’s pretty cool. Specially for our age range now ! 

[kg01]

Very cool, saffron.   And I'd never make fun of you.  

[NBASupes]

Awesome!

Those signature shoes with the "react juice" and lace covers were sooo cool to me back in the day. Too bad back injuries took away Larry's athleticism. He was really the first Zion.

Blasphemous to put him in Grammama's class.  I get what you mean tho.

Okay, he was the first Zion with significantly better BMI nimbers. Better?

I loved those teams with Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning.

I've got the Zo Hornets jersey and jersey t shirt from mitchell and ness too. Those teams were so damn fun to watch. I play the 92/93 Hornets every year on 2k.

That’s my team and the 96 Sonics with the German sensation Detlef “I will break you” Schrempf (ya I know Russian but he had the hair lol).

I like your 2021 (Scottie B) better than your 2018 (Sexy Sexton). 

Barnes or Jalen Green? Whose the best out of this draft.

Yep, play them as well every year. I do a throwback franchise where I control both the 92 Hornets and 96 Sonics and try to get both to the Finals. Fun times. You know Detlef is one of my all time favorite players too I hope. I'd kill to have a Hawks forward that had Detlef's game on this team.

Btw in the above LJ highlight reel fast forward to the 6:12 mark. I used to do that LJ celebration move after a big shot in games. My teammate told me I couldn't be white to pull that off.

So for reasons I don't understand I wore my LJ jersey for all the Braves playoff games and we won the World Series. I wore my LJ jersey for two Hawks games earlier and we won both games. I switched to my Trae jersey since then. Should I go back to my LJ jersey just to try and get some Grandmama karma going for the Hawks?

It all makes sense now.  You definitely should.  No other possible reason we would go from the ECF to losing 9 out of 10 games.  Maybe eat some corn dogs, too.
