I lied just now. The best part is 10 seconds through the Stockton one. I had no idea he was capable of that. Good times.

HAHA good post!! Living in Michigan I have seen the Pistons ones about a million times, when I saw you had the wallside windows ad up I was going to comment about the Rahmani eye dr ads but you got them too! There is one Reggie Miller ad that I cant remember what the cause was but Reggie proves that he can read lines off a cue card really well..

Tayshaun Prince says "The Factory", not "defective".

Well, that makes more sense I suppose.
