The Big Lead Reminds Us that One Shining Moment is Coming

This Guy and Luther Vandross?
Really, it’s one of the more inexplicable phenomenon in all of fandom, don’t you think? A cheesy, girly, wimpy song delivered by one of the kings of soft-ass castrate-yourself-for-listening R&B set to a reel of awfully-predictable highlights choreographed to align with the lyrics. Seriously??
Meanwhile, I know every freaking word to the tune and can’t manage to keep myself from clicking and re-clicking the play button every time one of these precious gifts of awesomely-bad video somehow find their way to my inbox.
So, we thank you David Barrett for your song…and we thank you Luther for singing it with such passion…and we thank you players for finding a way to pound on your chest and run very fast for a loose ball just so those lyrics can work just a little better.
We’re anxiously waiting for that ball to be tipped…

My FAVORITE! Good call, CS.
You don’t have to feel badly about the song. I will still listen to Carly Simon sing “It’s The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of” because it played at the end of one first NBA finals series that I ever watched. It was certainly in the 80′s and it involved Larry Bird. I don’t even like the Celtics, but that song sticks in my mind as they were showing slo-mo vids of basketball action.
