The CRAZY Origin Story Behind Marques Johnson's 'White Men Can't Jump' Character, Raymond 

“You can relate to this” 😂

Deep background on a classic scene. Thank you

🗣️ " Is that you Raymond " 😂😂😂... Nah no bs Marques Johnson #8 was a pure scorer

I grew up with Marques Johnson calling Sonic games and he's a legend in my eyes.

Crazy stories. Sounds similar to Marvin Barnes who I just finished reading a book about

Every time I see Arenas I think "I bring all my guns to work, Gilbert Arenas" - 2Chainz 🤣🤣

Wow BEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME!!! You have just been GOATED

Brooooo my grandfather played ball with Reggie’s in High school, this is wild

Reggie deserves a Movie frfr

Marquis look great. Great story about Reggie. I would love to hear Jalen Rose about this Reggie guy

Much Gratitude for sharing. I just saw a 1983 Bucks vs 76ers Playoffs game. Johnson and Moncrief were amazing. Ps "Raymond is that you ? " Pps My Fam's cousin robbed his own job and during the robbery the employees recognized him.

Big up to Marcus I was a kid and my mom married his good friend David Robertson that went to Crenshaw high and we was at his house in Windsor hills when he played for the bucks his parties was the shit ...big up Chris Johnson

He looks great 👍 GOOD TO SEE YOU BROVA

This is so cool … love this stories ..

Just realized he got on a "All the smoke" hoodie on gilberts podcast wth

White Men Can't Jump could have had a whole spin-off comedy about Big Raymond.

Another gem. 💎

This will be a fire ass movie

Soon as he said Reggie Harding...ALL EARS STRAIGHT OUT HS IN THE 60S...carry on...Son interviewing Pop...Let me light up and enjoy this...Thank you!!!

one of the funniest scenes in White men can't jump.

The ending was tragic but this dude's life was freaking comedy! Sounds like a Chappelle skit, and not one of the aight ones like some Charlie Murphy Rick James riff classic shit

Gene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb was out of a Detroit high school as well. RIP

Marques Johnson is keeping it 💯

Man this guy is a good actor. Sounds nothing like the guy he played in White Men Cant Jump

So many stories like this in the hood

Reggie a real Detro Bad boy

Why they put the cam on Gil 😂

Did this fool just sip hand sanitizer 🤣

Ahhh my favorite movie. I always forget Wesley turns on Woody.

Detroit "eastside"

Wow! Classic stories! Never heard of the Brotha but it seems He had His issues.

How you go to prison for robbing a dope house! Think about that! 😂😂

I wanna hear more about Reggie 😂😂

Reggie make Rodman and artest seem like church boys 😂😂

“Nah nah, this ain’t Raymond”. One of my fav parts of the movie as a kid lol

This dude was a legend😂😂gave Wilt 30 and 20 while pimping. This dude was a walking Air Force one and not the white pair😂😂.

"... and you can prolly relate to this..." The Marques Johnson shade is so amazingly subtle... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is like a Charlie Murphy's e true Hollywood story. Reggie was crazy.

I've read up on Reggie Harding's life. Dude was Ron Artest, Latrell Sprewell and Vernon Maxwell rolled into one.

"All I know is I better get on the court the 2nd half" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“Going to my car, get my other gun….shoot everybody asses”lmaoooooo

He said, “Gil, you can relate to this…” 😂😂

I’m from Detroit and Reggie is still regarded as one of the 5 best high school players to come out of Detroit.

Never knew that character was based off a real person I have to look him up

Marques Johnson has always been one of my favorite OGs to learn about. These stories are golden!

His voice in the movie when he says Nah Nah this ain't Raymond is etched into my memory from the first time I seen the movie😂😂😂😂💪🏿

A Reggie biopic would be awesome

As a 16-17 year old in Indianaoplis and a Pacer fan Reggie Harding was an anti hero! I believe he had several women he considered his mother. That is a true story!!! He was the first player to be drafted without going to college! He may not have graduated from high school and they made him wait 3 or 4 years before they let him play. Tweedy Bird was the point guard from Kokomo…Jimmy something! I guess the NBA doesn’t want to acknowledge what they consider unsavory.

I grew up in the Midwest in the 80’s-90’s playing basketball and it was soooo many characters like this that were good at football & basketball! Great story tho! LOL

Marques Johnson still looks great. Shout out to the OG.

5:07 Reggie was dead serious about race relations. lol

What a wild story. But OG got a All The Smoke hoodie on and took a drink from a flask 😆

Out of all people, for Gilbert to be the one to say that the era sounds “EXCITING” is freakin HILARIOUS!! Wtf? Lol 😆

A 7ft tall jackboy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Guest: yeah that dude can play and but it was tragic. Drugs, guns, and violence. He lost his life at 30. Guy shot him in between the eyes then shot him again. GIL: seems like that era was just fun. 🥴. Look at Josiah face. He has that “wtf you just say smile” 😂

When I was a kid, I thought Marcus Johnson was a god. From UCLA to the Bucks. Thanks for bringing him on

Johnson should do a outside the lines type show on players from past & present...Some people have the gift of story telling

“Come on Reggie you done hit me 4 times this month” 😳……….”this ain’t me”!!! 🫣😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Marques J, one of the coolest players on Bruins squad, gave Arenas the "Gilbert" with that 357 convo!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🔫

Marques Johnson and Moncrief were That Duo. The Eastern Conference was No Joke back then!!! Marques was automatic Buckets. Should've been in the HOF.

This is where the myth gets confused with the reality. When Reggie first played Wilt he had five points and eight boards (Wilt had 24 and 19). The second time he had five and six. Maybe it was the third time? Nope, Reggie had two points and three boards. Reggie was much worse than a "character" as he's described here. Just look up Reggie and Florence Ballard of the Supremes.

There's a talented athlete like Reggie Harding in every large city and some small southern ones too.Years ago SLAM Magazine did an article on him.There are so many wild NBA stories we haven't heard.I wish someone would do a book on some of these hard to believe stories like the book entitled " Loose Balls" by Terry Pluto which had some wild stories about the ABA and some of the wild characters like John Brisker, Warren Jabali, Wendell Ladner and the infamous Marvin " Bad News" Barnes.Bill Simmons also had book which had some NBA inside stories.

When Detroit is in the house, 🗣️OMG DANGER 😉

Reggie Harding was the best Center out of Detroit next to Roy Tarpley. His number versus Wilt and Bill Russell were phenomenal

Celebrity Underrated did a video about Reggie Harding. I had no idea this character was based off of him.

The coincidence of telling the story of a guy bringing guns into the locker room to Gilbert Arenas is hilarious.

Best movie of all time. That scene is LEGENDARY

Reggie Harding and Spencer Haywood are the two wildest NBA players I’ve ever heard of.

Man I Nearly died when he said.. you can relate in point at Gilbert 😅🤣😅

Lmaoo this is why I never take away from the og players cuz think about how much crazier getting caught up in the streets was then vs now cuz poverty was hitting different then

They need to make a movie about Reggie Harding

What are we gonna do when these guys are gone?? Stories like this have to be told!!

If you mess with podcasts, Crime in Sports told his life story not too long ago. Great stuff.

You can prolly relate to this 😂

I wonder if Marques Johnson remember a player named Gregory Howard aka Stretch that played for the Phoenix Suns, they say he had some WILD moments

YOOOOOOOO thats RAYMOND

This is why it’s hard to compare eras. Different type of mentality. The money wasn’t as good as it is now. Players were hungry. Might actually be killas on the court and not just

Gil: He was a pimp? My hero!!! Marqus: He got shot in the head twice at 30 Gil: Nevermind

Never heard of Reggie Harding before, sad but interesting story. A lot of playground legends, but this dude actually played in the NBA.

We had a guy named Dee back in our old neighborhood. Dude was 6'8", great baller and would rob gas stations when he started smoking that shit. He was the only 6"8" dude in our neighborhood and everyone knew who it was.

Marques Johnson has always been of my favorite OGs to learn about. I knew he played basketball but for what team. They told me Milwaukee Bucks and he was a legend in his time in the NBA. The Bucks are happy to retired his number as a Milwaukee Buck. I knew he was in White Man Can’t Jump and Blue Chips. Salute to #8 Marques Johnson!!!

Marques will always be a legend to Seattle Supersonics fans. Color commentator with Kevin Collabaro during the Payton/Kemp era. Some of the most hysterical and entertaining sports broadcasts ever.

Did anyone catch how he slipped in " ... And you can probably relate to this" talking to Gilbert Arenas as he told them about Reggie dropping the gun on the floor of the locker room? Idk if Gilbert caught that 😂💀

Damn Reggie 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣 it’s funny yet sad at the same time

I was today years old when I realized that Raymond was Marques Johnson smh. Shame on me 😔

How did I not know that Raymond was Marques Johnson? 🤯🤯

Damn this is some legendary information 🔥

Before I even put in Reggie in the search engine .. it showed Reggie Harding and I never heard of him til now... RU-vid be on it 🤣

I swear that was DeAndre Ayton's debut movie role, he just won't admit it

"All I KNOW, is I better get on the court, in the SECOND HALF...!!" So very HOOD: ...RIP, to that SOLDIER*lmaoooo*......................................................!! NOT HAVING IT*lolz*...........................................................

These were all hilarious stories and Marques Johnson is a great storyteller.

his story is pretty sad. his son also went to prison for murder and is serving life

I better get on the court in the second half 😅😂

Thanks for sharing the stories, glad to see bro in good health and looks like he is in a good place in his life.

Thought that was Doc Rivers 😂😂😂

"You Can Probably Relate To This!"💀😭

4:49 the shade was too real 🤣 "you can probably relate to this " 🔫 👀

You can prolly relate to this...😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

I see you Gilbert with the Championship Bucks tee!!! And #8 MJ is GOAT!!!

How he gonna wear a all the smoke hoodie on Gil platform lmaooo
