Spud Webb Proves Hanging Out With D-League Players Hasn't Affected Him


This is Spud Webb THEN...

This is Spud Webb NOW...

Guys that haven't even dreamed of dunking a basketball are all over poor Spud on YouTube.  Oh, this is fake.  This isn't real.  He ran in way too slow to elevate like that.  Well, yeah, it's not real.  You know what wasn't real?  Avatar wasn't real and you all really liked that.  Give him a break, he's like 49 years old and 5'5 in some penny loafers.  Give the little man respect, but don't ever respect Michael Jordan's outfit in that video.  I'm 6'5, played college basketball just a year ago, and regularly go to the gym.  And I can barely dunk anymore.  Yeah, I'm white, so lay off me.

Spud, who is currently the President of Operations for the NBA D-League's Texas Legends, got his job through something known as Game Proven, which is the reason this free marketing video was created.  Upon further research, Game Proven is a website dedicated to finding business executive positions for current and former athletes.  Through GP, NBA stars are able to experience the realism of being average human beings again while feeling the embarrassment of their mediocrity in the business world.

Welcome to our world, Spud.  How's it taste?
