Reebok Presents: “One Shot” With Baron Davis / Mar 11, 2008 / 5:13 pm

By Jeremy Ripley a.k.a. Cheesecake


This absolutely hilarious short film was directed by Emmanuelle Chriqui….

I have no thoughts as to how Reebok “ideated” this joint, but if you’re a fan of B. Diddy, or roller skating, and especially a combination of the two, this video is well worth 3:16 of your life. Companies need to explore this side of athletes more.

    I guess we now know what B. Davis does in the offseason.lol. This joint is funny man. I like to see commercials like this and all the lebron commercials. These commercials are out the norm and are very entertaining. P.S B Diddy is to Big(No H**O) to be wearing that tight outfit.

    funny thing is, and anyone in my age group can attest, is that back in the day even some of the most toughest hardrock stick-up kids wore mad tight gear. that was the style. even what was considered baggy back then would be squeezy now. i’ve done some period type photo shoots and movies so i know. so props to baron for keeping the period piece above as realistic as he could. i’ll tell you younger head this–one line rollerblades didn’t get popular until the ’90s. before that, the old school roller skates were it! and a lot of hip hop history went down at the rinks, go watch the documentary ’style wars’ for reference . . .

    Word up, Bob! I looked at “Back In the Day” in a bookstore a few years back…Nearly everyone had Clydes/Superstars with fat laces, tight Lee Jeans, and extremely short, form-fitting t-shirts! It kind of sounds like Soho today…haha!

    Big ups to B for being confident enough to rock that outfit. Any ballplayer over 35 who says he didn’t wear them same shorts is a liar.

    I don’t know, guys.. the clip looked too corny for me. The tank top looks like it was stolen from Serena Williams! I need to google BD’s dunk over AK 47 stat to get my mind off this..

    I would have prefer to see Emmanuelle Chriqui in that outfit ! Anyway the short film is mad funny. Doing a real NBA game with “back in the days” jerseys & shorts would be interesting I think, like you did Bobbito with Thibaut for the Air Force 1 documentary at the Goat Park.
    I would love to see Dwight Howard in tight short & top.

    Jeremy gets my vote for YouTube king of day. That was straight up on point. The funny thing is if that was in color BD would fit right in at Venice Beach today. People still look like that. Classic song, classic style. I’m just mad that they didn’t keep the rap in the song. I was waiting on that. Ronnie Bobby Ricky and Mike, yo that was my joint. I’m overreacting. Great find Jeremy.
