The Thread Nuraman Should Have Created: AKA the Fan Cam Thread.

Skills challenge: A fan has to dribble around obstacles, then make a layup.

I think at one point, the game host asked "Are you Tyreke Evans?", after complimenting his dribbling.

Or maybe he said "Are you tired yet?"

At the end, the host said "Good job, you looked like John Stockton."

Ok, I listened to it three times. It definitely sounds like "Good dribbling skills. Are you Tyreke Evans? I'm not sure."

Wasn't sure if I was going to create a thread, but it's a close game, so sure.

Coca-Cola Taste The Difference game:

A contestant has to taste 4 sodas, and then identify which Coca Cola product it is. She does this by placing the can over the straw. The opened cans from which the straws protude, are placed on a hidden shelf.

She gets the Barq's rootbeer right. She thinks the Diet Coke is actually Coca Cola original.

I think maybe she gets a pair of movie passes for each correct one, so the game might not have been all or nothing. So maybe she didn't win 8 movie passes, but one pair?

LGCCY Power: The Jazz Bear comes out in a Hawaiian shirt, and on a surfboard.

When he points to a section, that section has to pull out their phone and turn on their flashlight. When he moves onto a new section, the previous section has to put their phone down.

The Jazz broadcasters talk about how there's "new looks, new combinations, and new exciting talent coming in."

 

[nuraman00]

The broadcasters said this team is great because they laugh together.

And their nickname is "The Good Vibe Tribe".

The time Michael Jordan helped a guy win $1 million

Thirty years ago, Don Calhoun got picked to try a three-quarter-court shot during a Bulls game. He made it, sending Michael Jordan and the Bulls into an all-out frenzy because he had won $1 million. Or so everybody thought.

I like how the Jazz video has everyone on large cordless home phones. Presumably from 1974.

The SEG Media watermark is too big.

You can't have both a logo, and the network name, that big. Pick one, or the other. If you're going to have both, they have to be smaller.

Suitcase race: This game has a lot of steps.

The guy who put on the shirt with the pink bra, won. (You have to pick clothes out of a laundry basket and wear them).

The shirt had a picture of a girl wearing a bra. He didn't put on a shirt, and a bra on top of that.

Kicks Bingo: They show a grid on the jumbotron, and fans have to show off different shoe types.

One of the bingo squares was "Dad Shoes". They used a fan's Reebok's to qualify for that.

Reeboks are Dad shoes? I would think an athletic brand would still be cooler than to qualify as Dad shoes.

Also why does "Dad" anything have to be uncool? There are dads that ride motorcycles, have tattoos, and listen to modern music, with haircuts like a mohawk.

Tonight is 70's night.

@MHSL82, what's your favorite thing about the 1970's?

 

[nuraman00]

The Jazz Bear is wearing an open chest shirt. I think the Jazz Bear is female, so the revealing top clothing is a welcome sight.

The Jazz moving from New Orleans to Utah. And NOT changing their name. I mean, I would have grown up with the Hornets, Bees, or Stars or something stupid and thought that it was good, because I was so used to it and knew no different, but I think the Jazz is a better name. Screw the Lakers, there are no lakes in Los Angeles like they were in Minnesota. I even think that Utah jazz is a better name than New Orleans jazz even though it is more “appropriate.” I also liked New Orleans Hornets, and Charlotte Hornets for names, respectively.

I didn’t know you were into that type of stuff. To each their own. I don’t prefer beastiality. I one time saw the cars bumper basically attached to the back of another car parked and I told my wife that the cars were having fun. That was not a turn on, but I’d rather watch that than Roseanne Barr in that way.

The cars were having fun. Good observation.

Maybe the Jazz Bear can use her open shirt to make the other team miss their free throws.

Name That Movie: Bladerunner; Superman II; Talledega Nights.

I went 1/3. I had only seen the middle one, so I didn't know the others.

If you have a better name for it than Fan Cam, let me know. I know that involves a lot of other things.

 

[nuraman00]

Most Fan Cams suck. I will have better names. Most are very artificial reasons to create excitement.
