Hoops in Vegas, 1998

Hat tip to some guy who calls himself "doesntmattr" on Tumblr for this one: I can't share the pics here, but IMDB has some great shots of Richard from the 1998 Hard Rock Cafe Hoops in Vegas event.  I'm assuming this was a charity event, but I haven't been able to find any information about it.

The most interesting thing about these pictures is that they show Richard in basketball gear just months after the filming of A Night at the Roxbury, a role for which he famously packed on about 40 pounds to cultivate a "past his prime" kind of look.  In these pics, taken just a few months after Roxbury filming wrapped, there's no sign of those extra pounds or the "didn't that guy used to be..." look he achieved for the film.
