First Shyne goes orthodox and now this. Larry “Grandmama” Johnson is pushing kosher drinks.

Grand Ma Ma Sweet Southern Tea ® ― Inspired by the sweet tea from his childhood in Texas and from the famous character created in his series of commercials for Converse, Larry will be introducing the Grandmama’s Sweet Southern Tea in the coming months. This line of flavored teas is currently in development and will come in sweetened natural flavors reminiscent of the cool refreshment from hot summer afternoons sitting on the porch at Grandmama’s house.

Nobody makes iced tea the way your Grandmama makes it!!

I’d make a joke here but I don’t need the ADL and B’nai B’rith on my ass. If Larry Johnson wants a comeback that bad, he needs to convince Tyler Perry or Martin Lawrence to let Grandmama into one of their movies. There’s enough shame to go around.

I saw this picture of Jerry Tarkanian and Larry Johnson together as UNLV beat #12 BYU over the weekend and I had a massive flashback to 1990 and 1991.  Those were fantastic college basketball years.  How much would you pay to see Larry Johnson, Greg Anthony, Stacey Augmon, Anderson Hunt and Jerry Tarkanian barnstorm around like the Globetrotters?  I might pay 20 bucks if LJ runs around in his Grandmama wig and dress the whole time.  Neverthless, it is cool to see these guys again, and actually hanging out together.  I don’t have any idea why I think its fascinating…it just is.

Oh wait, do you remember Grandmama? If you do, then you remember  how damn solid those commercials were.  Converse made some BANK with that action.  Since we’re talking about Larry Johnson and Grandmama, lets flashback, to a few of those commericals, shall we?
