In the ‘90s, music, pop culture and sports came together for one amazing annual event.

There was a time when MTV liked to crank everything up to eleven. This is why when they decided to have celebrity softball, and basketball, games, it wasn’t going to be enough to just have celebs playing sports. To make things interesting, MTV mixed together celebs and professional athletes, made some unique rule changes, and created Rock N’ Jock.

Rock N’ Jock’s softball, and basketball, games were an annual event for the better part of a decade, and whether you remember a jump shot that was worth five times as much as a normal shot, or the time Ken Griffey Jr. and his teammates in the outfield were lounging on reclining beach chairs for an inning, there is no doubt the mere mention of Rock N’ Jock evokes memories.

Here are 10 reasons why we miss this ‘90s staple.

Teaming of People You’d Never See Together Otherwise

Outside of Rock N’ Jock it’s highly unlikely you’d see members of Boyz II Men and Body Count, cast members of Home Improvement and Baywatch, and the founder of No Limit Records breaking bread together.

The same goes for Ozzie Smith, Warren G, Kenny Lofton and George Clooney.
