Friday - YouTube clip of the week

I came across the Boston Celtics song/video "We Ballin", which is interesting for numerous reasons.

1. It focused on the Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker, Kenny Anderson, and Eric Williams led Celtics. They look better than I remember. The power of highlights.

2. It implied that Pierce, Walker and Anderson were the new Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish. Let's move on.

3. I took a screenshot of the Big Three from around the 35 second mark. Let's ignore the fact that it's disturbing and focus on the Converse sneakers. Did they get any support from those? Is it any surprise that McHale and Bird suffered from chronic injuries. And how was Parish so durable? I'd love to jump in a time machine and give those guys some high tops.

4. The song is terrible.
