The 1989 NBA All-Star Introductions Were Really Quite Awesome

Text Size A A A


I guarantee, this will be the best nine-minute long rap video dedicated to the 1989 NBA All-Star Game you'll see all week! (And, I'm guessing, the only time Mark Eaton and Mark Price were ever name-checked in a rap lyric, which makes it both historical and hysterical.) What makes this especially awesome is that this was apparently from the actual telecast and not just something hacked together by a YouTube wizard decades later. Well done, 1980s television execs, well done.

Update: Actually, "well done, Ultramagnetic MC's." Chest bump to Shoals for ID'ing the men behind the mic.
