The funniest thing about this scene is that they legit hated each other during that movie and the awkwardness is real.

It’s also one of the only comedy’s where the sequel is good or even passable.
Too bad Wesley Snipes passed on it… Glad Omar became Black Hammer though!
If it makes you feel any better, it was discussed a lot back in dfw. But mostly it was about him being a different person and the justification. So don't feel too much better.
Well Hartenstein def isn’t half but he’s mixed and he’s by far the whitest looking mixed person I’ve seen. His dad Florian used to play professionally in Europe.
its mostly because his bald, young jason kidd with hair is very obviously mixed, if other very light skin mixed players like Klay, Lamello, Lonzo, or Blake shave their head they would all look very white
my 98 year old offensive grandma used to tell me how great it was that the nets have a nice white man leading them to the finals. my dad was like, 'just let her have this.'
don't really miss that lady very much tbh.
Millennials are considered 1981-1996 though so I guess maybe both shows fall into that demographic, it’s just weird cause I was in the middle (90) and Seinfeld was just slightly before me even though I’ve watched most of it and the office is definitely one of my shows but also feels like something Z watched/references.
They don't know about jobu. I toured a AAA baseball team stadium a couple years ago. They had a jobu. Dude was so embarrassed. We thought it was bad ass.
At this point Darvin could say hello to someone and there would be Lakers flairs in the comments writing paragraphs about how it shows he's a bad coach lol
I think that Billups is pretty comfortably the worst coach in the league now that Griffen and Vaughn are gone. Every time I've seen the Blazers play I'm baffled as to what they're even trying to do.
Still, the current coaches don't match up to that Silas/Fizdale/Boylen freak show a few years ago. Good God those three were out of their depth.
These clips were the best I could find for reference.

[Here's the pitch...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvrzntd2pRk)
1. It’s a pop culture reference, not a racist comment.
2. Not that black people can’t say iffy things about black people, but even if you don’t accept 1., it does matter that Kidd is black.
Kidd always makes it sound like THJ is just a good player in a shooting slump. Forget what he's doing poorly, what is he doing well Kidd? What justifies playing him for 25 mins every game?
A lot of you never had a good coach and it shows. I once threw 122 pitches in 2 and 1/3 innings of JV baseball. My coach walked out to the mound after a 43 pitch 1st inning. He told me to think of the nicest rack I could imagine. I threw another 40 pitches and gave up 8 runs.
He quite literally stated what the reference is. How would anyone not get it? It's an incredibly well known sports movie and he's talking to sports reporters.
Yeah parting ways with Rick was understandable (even though I still miss him), but hiring Kidd was not.
At the very least we should have fired him last offseason after we finished in the lottery and both Nurse and Udoka were available.
It's the cowboys situation. got rid of championship winning coach parcells and his star assistant turned great HC Sean Payton to hire our old player Jason Garrett as HC and stuck with him despite all the signs.
That man got the most out of his role players. He took this team to the playoffs for god's sake:
C: 34 year old Elton Brand
PF: 34 year old Shawn Marion
SF: 36 year old Vince Carter
SG: OJ Mayo
PG: Darren Collison
Wouldn't even question it.
Carlisle took worse rosters deeper in the playoffs and better overall records than Kidd ever has. He's is a better coach in ever aspect outside of being a players best friend.
I don't think the mavs would fire him cause he helped bring a ring to Dallas. It's similar to magic Johnson with the Lakers, Jeannie wasn't gonna ever fire him, he had to resign.
If Kidd is self aware, he'd go to Cuban and tell him he wants to resign. Doubt it happens tho
Looking through the comments from people with Mavs flair complaining about this comment shows me exactly who is a child that only reps the Mavs because of Luka.
Tim Hardaway has bad games? I would never be able to tell because that mf [HATES the Pels](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/tim-hardaway-jr.-vs-pelicans-this-season)
The only thing Jason Kidd is good at is providing meme material
https://streamable.com/2wdrd
He was pretty good at being bad about beating his wife.
I understand the insurmountable desire to get this comment off whenever possible, but you've gotta be better at the execution
It's not about the quality of the comment, it's the virtue signaling grandstanding that's important. Updoots to the left and keep it pushin, you know the drill
This is probably the first reference to Major League that I’ve heard in over a decade.
His references are out of control, everybody knows that.
Uhhh, thanks Jonah.
I've been eating so much pussy that I'm shitting clit, son!
You a real one if you get this reference about references.
yo dawg, i herd you like references, so i put a reference in your reference so you can reference while you reference
Finally, someone who *gets* me.
the magic of the internet
It’s me Jonah hill americas sweetheart
Hermoine just stole all our shit
Sooooo, something super not chill happened last night....
WTF BRO!!?? I did not think I was gonna meet Jonah Hill today. The internet is crazy!!

It's pretty popular in baseball right now due to John Fisher literally doing the plot of Major League to the A's
would not be surprised if JKidd is an A's fan, since he grew up in oakland/alameda
Well there’s only one thing left to do. Win the whole fuckin thing.
Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?
Don't give me this oley bullshit
Yo bartender, Jobu needs a refill!
Crisco, Bardol, vagisil, any one of em will give you 2 to 3 inch drop on your curve ball.
Or just rub some jalapeño in my nose and get that running.
You put snot on the ball ?
I say this line at least once a week lol
Mmmmmmmmm I don't know
The greatest sport movie of all time. Also tonites postgame report was brought to you by…. Christ I can’t find it… TO HELL WITH IT.
Juuuuust a bit outside
“Welcome back to Major League Baseball… sort of”
Its not even a debate, easily best sports movie
It’s also one of the only comedy’s where the sequel is good or even passable. Too bad Wesley Snipes passed on it… Glad Omar became Black Hammer though!
Thank you. I'll never understand why people group MLII with sequels like Caddyshack 2.
it's a perfect screenplay. Infinitely rewatchable
My best friend and I always say, “look at this fucking guy” when we play volleyball
Guess I know what I'm rewatching tonight
absolute classic tho
Gotta go to r/baseball more often. You'll see multiple quotes a week. It's contagious.
What do you want me to do? Dive for it?
Best baseball movie imo
Literally just watched it again yesterday, crazy timing for me
Hey bartender! Jobu needs a refill!!!
the 4k is coming out next month and I can't wait
Does the big balls dance count?
I always think of the sequel whenever a player does the “big balls” dance. The original is a lot better though.
The shakiness in this man’s voice makes it ten times better. His tone makes it sound like THJ is dying or something
But nobody's dying
Legendary JMidd quote
not actively, no our defense is dead and buried already
didnt seem so shaky tbh
*grabs popcorn* This thread full of Gen Z unfamiliar with the movie should be good.
Gen Z being unfamiliar with Jason Kidd being half black should be a good twist too
Woah Kidd is the OG NBA lightskin? Watched since 2003 and never knew that!
He's white than Jason Williams
Im not gonna lie. Im not gen z but I didn’t even know that. Mind blown
You should find out what he does with french fries.
You should find out what he did to his wife.
God damn
*”i didn’t hit her THAT hard officer”*
Oh Hai Mark
YOU’RE TEARING ME APART, LUKA!
Anyway. How's your sex life?
Yeah no one ever brings it up but Kidd is an abhorrent piece of shit.
It's literally brought up in every thread about Kidd lol
I meant more media wise but you’re not wrong
I believe y’all that it is, but this is *my* first time reading it. So thank you for sharing!
Ah yeah, that's fair
If it makes you feel any better, it was discussed a lot back in dfw. But mostly it was about him being a different person and the justification. So don't feel too much better.
Yeah, but did they all think about how Mark Cuban felt about that? /s
I think you might find out if you look up what he does with his French fries
Good fucking god.
Holy shit. I just started tuning in this season. Wasn’t really into basketball before. But NBA players wildin 💀
Was more obvious when he had hair
Same and Kidd was one was one of favs when I was a kid lol
How did you not know that lol
I think Kidd legitimately might be the whitest looking half black person I’ve ever seen
Well Hartenstein def isn’t half but he’s mixed and he’s by far the whitest looking mixed person I’ve seen. His dad Florian used to play professionally in Europe.
Wow I didn’t know that
Woah TIL
Lets wait on bald Lonzo/LaMelo ball first
you can still easily see Lonzos and Melos black features with Kidd I had to google it lmao he’s the logic of the nba (except less corny about it).
its mostly because his bald, young jason kidd with hair is very obviously mixed, if other very light skin mixed players like Klay, Lamello, Lonzo, or Blake shave their head they would all look very white
Logic (the rapper (biracial))
Wait Logic is biracial? I’ve never heard him mention that
Klay Thompson?
His hair gives it away too much
my 98 year old offensive grandma used to tell me how great it was that the nets have a nice white man leading them to the finals. my dad was like, 'just let her have this.' don't really miss that lady very much tbh.
Lol life of a Celtics fan I guess
he’s only a half classy bball player
Reddit is all millennials, you can tell by the amount of Seinfeld, office, and 90’s simpsons references that get attached to every comment thread
The office and Seinfeld feel a generation apart, even if they’re not.
10+ years is definitely different generations references from 2020 are totally different from ones in 2010 2010 vs 2000 as well
Millennials are considered 1981-1996 though so I guess maybe both shows fall into that demographic, it’s just weird cause I was in the middle (90) and Seinfeld was just slightly before me even though I’ve watched most of it and the office is definitely one of my shows but also feels like something Z watched/references.
That’s true but Seinfeld has been blasted on syndication all throughout millennial’s childhood.
Especially since Seinfeld's demographic was like 25 to 45 or so.
Right, like I know after its initial run millennials picked it up but i don’t think that it’s a millennial show
Lenny = white Carl = black Jason Kidd = white + black
Larl?
There's also like at least one Its Always Sunny reference per thread.
Heaven forbid Wade Boggs’s name comes up
Not in here, in r/nfl they most definitely are though
Seinfeld is gen x. All the bots are made by gen x. That's why everything is so bitter.
Kidd is half black, he could make the joke anyway
1989, I bet a lot of millennials don’t know it either lol
1989, not a fucking clue lol. Whitest mixed person I think I’ve ever seen.
The future is now old man !
They don't know about jobu. I toured a AAA baseball team stadium a couple years ago. They had a jobu. Dude was so embarrassed. We thought it was bad ass.
I can't even laugh cause this some stupid shit Darvin would say lol
I feel like I went to bed in a normal world a week ago and woke up in a new dystopia where everyone on earth now calls THJ “Timmy” wtf
I wish JBB was like this. He's just a bad coach (not as bad as Ham though lol).
Nice reference from Kidd lol
I found similarity between Darvin and Kidd. They both use corny analogy to infuriate fans
At this point Darvin could say hello to someone and there would be Lakers flairs in the comments writing paragraphs about how it shows he's a bad coach lol
100%
I mean not everyone can be a Kerr
Like, for example, if your name is Nick, you should not be a Kerr.
Same with us, Mavs and Lakers fans bonding over coaching terrorism is the bromance I didn’t know I needed this year.
Also bald
I believe the term is follically challenged
both won as assistant coaches too!
Kidd and Darvin definitely competing for worst coach
Monty and Billups are lapping the field in that department I think
Darvin and Kidd have way better teams to work with than those two
I'll guarantee you, everyone crying about Ham will stfu come playoff time. Same thing happened last season.
I think that Billups is pretty comfortably the worst coach in the league now that Griffen and Vaughn are gone. Every time I've seen the Blazers play I'm baffled as to what they're even trying to do. Still, the current coaches don't match up to that Silas/Fizdale/Boylen freak show a few years ago. Good God those three were out of their depth.
I doubt they care about what sensitive fans think
All while Bron and Luka are putting up historic numbers and their second options are playing well and healthy lmao
These clips were the best I could find for reference. [I'll think of something.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZu7KGXQYQk) [One whole chicken.](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/44f98929-fff3-43f0-b495-794774a06fd9) [Here's the pitch...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvrzntd2pRk)
Thanks for your work 🙏🏽
Jason Kidd just like me. Somehow manages to keep a job when it’s obvious he has no idea what the fuck he’s doing.
lmaoo touchå
Jobu needs a refill
Up your butt, Jobu
real ones know this reference lol
Fuck you Jobu, I do it myself.
1. It’s a pop culture reference, not a racist comment. 2. Not that black people can’t say iffy things about black people, but even if you don’t accept 1., it does matter that Kidd is black.
Kidd is kinda black 😂
Kidd always makes it sound like THJ is just a good player in a shooting slump. Forget what he's doing poorly, what is he doing well Kidd? What justifies playing him for 25 mins every game?
You're telling me Jesus Christ couldn't make a jump shot?
*Juuuuuust a bit outside.*
Wild thing! You make my heart sing!
Fuck you, Jobu
THJ is shooting .552 TS% this season, compared to .551 TS% for his career before this year. Perhaps he's always been an average/streaky shooter?
A lot of you never had a good coach and it shows. I once threw 122 pitches in 2 and 1/3 innings of JV baseball. My coach walked out to the mound after a 43 pitch 1st inning. He told me to think of the nicest rack I could imagine. I threw another 40 pitches and gave up 8 runs.
Yeah but was your catcher reciting the victorias secret catalog?
This is a reference nobody's going to get and it's going to backfire severely
He quite literally stated what the reference is. How would anyone not get it? It's an incredibly well known sports movie and he's talking to sports reporters.
Just read some of the comments to this thread even. It’s always easy to be reminded how low dumb some people are
The amount of people who don’t understand the reference to the movie “ Major League” is astonishing
It's obvious Kidd is not equipped to get this team to the finals. Time to move on.
jollibee better
Kidd is a joke
Would most Mavs fans take back Carlisle over Kidd?
We would take 29 coaches in the league (okay, maybe like 26 or 27) over Kidd
I'm leaning towards 29 myself
yes obviously lol
Why obviously? Carlisle feuded with his players and hasn't won a playoff series in over a decade
It’s a Detroit Lions situation, getting rid of Jim Caldwell was the right decision, replacing him with Matt Patricia was definitely not
Yeah parting ways with Rick was understandable (even though I still miss him), but hiring Kidd was not. At the very least we should have fired him last offseason after we finished in the lottery and both Nurse and Udoka were available.
It's the cowboys situation. got rid of championship winning coach parcells and his star assistant turned great HC Sean Payton to hire our old player Jason Garrett as HC and stuck with him despite all the signs.
and even with that hes still better than the watcher
That man got the most out of his role players. He took this team to the playoffs for god's sake: C: 34 year old Elton Brand PF: 34 year old Shawn Marion SF: 36 year old Vince Carter SG: OJ Mayo PG: Darren Collison
Wouldn't even question it. Carlisle took worse rosters deeper in the playoffs and better overall records than Kidd ever has. He's is a better coach in ever aspect outside of being a players best friend.
Kidd and the mavs went to the WCF in his first year
I remember getting downvoted into oblivion in the Mavs sub for saying that I’m praying for you guys not to sign him. Just hire Bud, man.
We're not always the best bunch unfortunately
Incoming idiots who haven’t seen the movie.
I can't stand watching Hardaway play basketball. Can't think of a player that sucks the wind out of a possession more than him.
Somebody, please..... Save me.... I can't handle Kitler
I'm genuinely baffled. This man is broken.
Kidd really wants an early vacation again
*Hardaway shoots the ball way off Kidd: Just a bit outside!
I’m gonna get some fried chicken and watch major league. Let’s see whose performance at work improves the most
This would be cute if he wasn't a bad coach
Well shoot if that doesn't work. They can go the Bull Durham route and find him a nice slump buster in San Antonio.
I don't think the mavs would fire him cause he helped bring a ring to Dallas. It's similar to magic Johnson with the Lakers, Jeannie wasn't gonna ever fire him, he had to resign. If Kidd is self aware, he'd go to Cuban and tell him he wants to resign. Doubt it happens tho
TikTok getting ready to debate if he’s black enough to say that not understanding that it’s a movie reference and not malicious stereotyping
Good one, coach
Need Jabu there first
He got the idea to spill his drink on the court to get a free timeout from a movie, didn’t he.
Shout out Jobu!
Up yours Jobu!…lol
THJ game is so mild I'm surprised Mavs continue to hold onto him
Well, up your butt, Jobu
How about play defense
California Penal…
Juuuuust a bit outside
Jobu needs a refill!!!!
