A Dinosaur Playing Basketball...
For the five-year-old in us all...
I remember this commercial from awhile back, when the Toronto Raptors were new. Very cool.
I've historically been a dinosaur enthusiast, so a professional basketball team named after a particularly intimidating variety of dinosaur was really cool.
And then there's a commercial featuring playing basketball with a dinosaur.
How about we combine them--Carcharodon megalodon. A great white-ish prehistoric shark that might have been up to 100 feet long, fed on whales, and according to cryptid enthusiasts *might still be alive.*
Vincer Carter! Man, basketball was awesome as a kid!
ReplyDeleteAnother great dose of nostalgia from you my friend, I thank you!

I was always more of a fan of sharks, but dinos are cool too!
