Basketbawful turned up this lovable Reebok ad from 1987. It's got Danny Ainge and the late Dennis Johnson squaring off in a game of one-on-one. The whole thing is shot like they're not really playing, or at least can't get from one place to another like NBA players do. Like it's a basketball scene in a comedy. Also, this ad is uncomfortably lurching toward the future; there are dunks, but zero swagger and a punchline based around "footwork."
