1998 commercial for Denny's restaurant chain features Clyde Drexler and Dr. Joyce Brothers. Brothers tries to psychoanalyze Drexler's feelings of being small (perhaps because he played the position of small forward) by showing a series of oversized items, culminating in Denny's "big, big burgers" (starting at $3.99).
During the 90s Denny's was at times accused of racial bias in their treatment of customers and the choice of Clyde Drexler was likely partially to combat this.
This 30 second spot aired during an SF Giants game in 1998.
