Kid N Play Dance

The dance made famous by rappers Kid 'N Play and nicknamed the "the Funky Charleston"  never loses its appeal.  In fact it puts the original Charleston to shame.

People are forever trying to recreate this scene from "House Party."  For instance,  Lebron James in this State Farm commercial.

I'm sure one of the big reasons James signed with the Miami Heat was so he and Wade could be the new age Kid 'N Play.

Look at this picture and try and tell me that they aren't dressed to rock a 90s house party like Kid 'N Play.

Since there are only two members of Kid 'N Play that also explains why Chris Bosh is the odd man out in Miami.   He only gets to fill the role of the DJ that nobody cares about.

Boyz II Men Motownphilly and Lebron James

It's always a good time to watch Boyz II Men's video "Motownphilly."  Not only is it early 90s R&B in its heyday, but the video features the brightly colored sports coats and sweaters of the era as well.

It's clear that Lebron James must be a huge fan of this time period because he's single handedly attempting to bring that clothing style back.

Look at James at the 2009 NBA-All Star weekend in the picture below.  With that bright yellow sweater, I'm not sure if he's there for All-Star weekend or auditioning to be the new fourth member of Boyz II Men.  Hey, James has a deep enough voice to replace the bass guy who left the group. 

The new member of Boyz II Men

That's not the only way the video appears to have inspired James.  The pretend team pictures that James takes before games are quite similar to the group pictures taken in the Motownphilly video.

Does this mean the Cavaliers have joined Boyz II Men,

ABC, BBD in the east coast family?

Excuse me, while I run out to get bright orange/pink sports coat so I can be ahead of the curve if James succeeds in beginning back the early 90s.
