Manther Introduces "Missin' the Sonics"

Categories: Sports

A Manther is the male version of a cougar: an older man who preys on younger women. It's also the name of a hip-hop group out of Salem, Ore., that's just given the world this five-minute ode to the dearly departed SuperSonics.

I was having a hard time figuring out why I almost liked this video. The world needs less Andy Sambergs, not more. And when they're not aping the conventions of every '90s R&B music video ever, the members of Manther spend their free time filming themselves making basketball trick shots (a hobby most guys grow out of after they've gotten their learner's permit).

Then I realized: it's the Squatch costume. Put a man in a monkey suit and I am riveted.
